Dear All<br><br>We suggest to include some points<br><br>for ISOC HQ<br><br>- Has the compromise to support the national presence of local chapters in their territory in any of the following ways<br><br> a. Promoting and developing at least one yearly activity in the local chapter territory, related with ISOC mission with a dedicated and fixed budget <br>
<br> b. Supporting the fund raising activities of the local chapter, specially with international donors<br><br> c. Mentioning and working with local chapters when an activity will take place in their territory<br>
<br>
d. Redirecting to local chapter any interest of potential members or institutions inside the local chapter's territory<br><br> e. Assigning a territory manager or similar to coordinate and support several chapters according ISOC territory division <br>
<br>- Has the compromise of to motivate the discussion and participation on ISOC Chapters on Internet related issues that can be adopted as policies for ISOC. No policies will be adopted by ISOC without a discussion process that includes local chapters participation.<br>
<br>For Local Chapters<br><br>- Once a policy is adopted, after a discussion process, is mandatory to promote and support it unless it is against local laws.<br><br>- To promote and participate on Internet related discussion process inside ISOC<br>

<br>
Many thanks for your email. I am sorry if I was not clear. The main piece of work requested is to review the *content* of the agreement. At the same time, if there are errors in the grammar, I would be delighted to have volunteers to review and improve the document, but this is *not* a must. This is not a final document - it is a draft, so at this stage, my main goal is that it is understandable. However any suggestions to improve the grammar would be gratefully received at <<a href="mailto:chapter-support@isoc.org" target="_blank">chapter-support@isoc.org</a>>.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
Anne<br>

Dear all: I see here two main situations<br>
<br>
1. To work on the translation or in the grammatical side of the agreement. i.e. that verbs and articles and gender are all consistent.<br>
<br>
2. To work on the content of the agreement not only in the grammatical side.<br>
<br>
Please let me know which one or if both points is what we have to review.<br>

[Apologies for cross-postings]<br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The purpose of the Affiliation Agreement is to provide a clear framework for the exchange of value between ISOC HQ and the ISOC Chapters, where none exists today. It defines a set of minimum standards to be considered an 'active' Chapter, and describes the support and resources available from ISOC HQ to help achieve that minimum. The emphasis is on helping each other to succeed in collectively advancing the ISOC mission.<br>
<br>
TRANSLATIONS<br>
The French and Spanish translations of the 2nd version of the draft Affiliation Agreement are now available (along with the English version) on the ISOC Chapter wiki at:<br>

<br>
HELP NEEDED<br>
In the interests of getting these translations to you as quickly as possible, they have not been verified by native speakers. We would really appreciate your help. In addition to your feedback, if you spot any errors in the translations, please let us know by emailing <<a href="mailto:chapter-support@isoc.org" target="_blank">chapter-support@isoc.org</a>> with details.<br>
<br>
TIMELINE<br>
The deadline for feedback has, by request, been extended to 29th October 2010. All feedback will be considered and collated for the Chapter Taskforce to consider. This process began a year ago in October 2009 (see: <a href="https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/chapter-delegates/2009-October/005467.html" target="_blank">https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/chapter-delegates/2009-October/005467.html</a>). This is now a 'last call' for feedback prior to the request for endorsement by the ISOC Board of Trustees meeting mid November.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much in advance for your feedback on version 2.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Anne<br>
On behalf of the Sphere Labels Chapter Taskforce.<br>
