Reference to the "Paid/Registered member" on page 4 - needs more careful wording as could be misunderstood easily when translated.<br><br>2. Leadership models on page 4 - need to include references to the way chapters organise themselves. Need other examples away from the traditional/classical hierarchical approach. The ISOC template for by-laws is traditional ->> may change in the upcoming policy discussions. A collaborative approach to leadership or organisation of the chapter could be stressed more and we should provide different examples. (anne - to provide references to starfish & the spider for example)<br><br>4. AMS guidelines for running a chapter -> training materials. Hans Peter noted that we need key benefits outlined for chapter members. (Anne to contact Lincoln for material, which could be added at a later date).<br><br>5. Social media - examples are fine but not complete. Wendy noted that this was still under-developed. We need to know more from Chapters about success stories and whether it is working well and how. Hans Peter commented that success depends on region and age of the members. "generation gap". One suggestion was to send email to chapter delegates to ask for feedback on success in using social media. (anne/wendy). Dawit agreed this is important otherwise the younger members will be lost. Changing "fashions" needs to also be acknowledged. Suggestion to include a "mix".<br><br>Drawback on social media section to be included:<br><br>One thing to note is the confict with Privacy - this needs to be acknowledged. Try to find some details about 'recommendations' for use bearing in mind the Privacy issue. Sphere-analysis - also asked about social media being used by Chapters. Anne to take a look at responses and send to Wendy.<br><br>6. Hans Peter suggested including a note about Privacy - re: keeping members data. What should a chapter do and not do - selling chapter data, membership lists etc.<br><br>7. Communicating with the media is often difficult for Chapters. Dawit had a short tutorial on how to interact effectively with the media.. how to make sure they come to your event, or they cover it etc. Action: dawit - will try to find some documents and send to us so as to be able to include this.<br><br>8. Dawit noted the use of hyperlinks to make it easier for the reader. Wendy commented that we have not finalised on-line design yet.<br><br>9. Reference to partners : should also include more on the relationship of ISOC with the IETF which is not well understood and PIR. In 1.1 you could introduce the IETF. HPD can also help with wording in this area.<br><br>10. Dawit asked about incorporation: is it required or not. No - there are many reasons why this is difficult for chapters. almost impossible in Japan for example.<br><br>11. Dawit commented that it was important for chapters to have a flagship programme which gives them an "image". Dawit to send bullet points of examples from some Chapters in the African region.<br><br>Wendy closed the call by thanking Hans Peter and Dawit.<br><br>lists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/chapter-handbook<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Anne Lord, Senior Manager <<a href="mailto:lord@isoc.org">lord@isoc.org</a>><br>Chapter & Individual Memberships <a href="http://www.isoc.org">http://www.isoc.org</a><br>Internet Society (ISOC) "The Internet is for everyone"<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
