<pre wrap="">Hi Andreu,
This was also my initial suggestion, to have **.isoc.org and **.internetsociety.org aliases distributed to each and every recognized chapter.
The cost for this operation would be 0 , it's just a matter making some changes in the dns.</pre>

But **.chapters.isoc.org exists already and every chapter may demand
it. What it has been discussed is to enable local chapters to
register the domain name of their choice at the ccTLD level. <br>
ISOC HQ is providing already support on marketing tools ( pens, ...
) for the chapters. <a href="http://tunisia.chapters.isoc.org/"><br>

I am afraid the cost of maintaining this would be substantially
greater than 0 for the HQ DNS admins. Think they would have to
update the NS records the sub-domains, plus DS keys for
sub-domains, etc.. I am not sure all chapters have their own DNS
server either. Hence, HQ would have to administer the sub-domain.
Yet another cost. <br>

<pre wrap="">Khaled suggestion is also good, chapters could ask for funding if the registration costs are high.</pre>

More than a question of cost, it is also if it is relevant to have
two domain names. "ISOC" is meaningful and unambiguous in my local
community. "Internet Society" much less. Some less English-savvy
locals translate it literally to French, and think we are a
commercial ISP :-)<br>

I agree with you Patrick on this problem.<br>
We have been as well seen as a commercial entity as the word
"Society" in a French speaking country in more to design a
commercial entity.<br>
But I think this is probably the problem of any brand. NIKE in
Tunisia has a bad meaning but everyone know this brand and like it.
So it is a matter how you keep your name at high level of
communication.<br>

From my side, I see no added value at the local level, I agree
though that "InternetSociety.org" is more meaningful on press
releases from HQ, especially with capital I and S.<br>

Agree :)<br>
