Though I am among those who responded to the survey, I felt quite
restricted - and I reorganized the priority settings several times
before I sent the survey back, because it really did not allow me to
explain HOW I felt about some of the points which I only could put
into a numerical order - not even allowing me to group several
points as "top" or as "not so important for us."<br>
<br>
So I also appreciate the comments by Klaus. And I especially support
his last paragraph:<br>
<br>
<br>
*Issue tracking:* I mentioned this before. If we seriously intend to
manage issues (not only technical ones) we require some means to
track them. For technical issues mantis would be a good start.<br>
<br>
<br>
If we really got mantis operational as a first step, I feel that
would already move us on a lot, even for the limited field mantis
can serve. But then move on beyond.<br>

reminder - Request for help - very short survey :
communications needs and priorities<br>
<br>
Hi Anne,<br>
<br>
a form is always good for the reader and for the one who
fills it.<br>
Less work on both sides. The disadvantage is that the space
for<br>
answers is limited. And this is definitely the case with
your<br>
questionnaire. So there are quite some tools that we already
have in<br>
place and never would buy from ISOC. Others - like Elenas<br>
collaboration platform cover some of the tools you mention
and should<br>
rather not be duplicated.<br>
<br>
So just clicking prio 1 to 8 doesn't tell you much. Here my
position<br>
(not speaking for ISOC.DE but assuming it is mostly shared
by ISOC.DE<br>
board).<br>
<br>
*ID service*.: Would be nice to have. Frankly I doubt that
ISOC can<br>
provide it in a decent way. I mean for all members in AMS?
How do you<br>
know they exist and how could you prove their identity?<br>
<br>
*Email forwarding*: We provide it from ISOC.DE domain<br>
<br>
*Newsgroup:* I didn't here much of a request. Elena's forum
might<br>
cover some of it.<br>
<br>
*Webhosting:* exists, financial support would be accepted.<br>
<br>
*Domain Names:* We have ISOC.DE, we are rather not
interested in<br>
InternetSociety.DE which is grabbed. If somebody fights to
get it back<br>
and pays it - we would accept to run it as an alias of
ISOC.DE.<br>
<br>
*IM Forum:* rather not interested<br>
<br>
*Chapter membership portal:* After all I've seen so far I'd
rather<br>
prefer to administer our membership with our own tools. Some
decent<br>
mechanism to synchronize with AMS would better would be
appreciated -<br>
but since we have a viable solution it is not urgent.<br>
<br>
*Topic based Mailinglist:* Would be really useful. But we
should<br>
discuss how this overlaps with the forum.<br>
<br>
*Remote Conferencing:* We do this by now with Skype (audio
and chat<br>
for minute taking) and it works OK for us. I heavily used
W3C's Zakim<br>
before - a lot of additional functions wrt conference
management,<br>
minute taking ... nice to have IMHO but having a good IM
function +<br>
phone over IP is sufficient.<br>
<br>
*Issue tracking:* I mentioned this before. If we seriously
intend to<br>
manage issues (not only technical ones) we require some
means to track<br>
them. For technical issues mantis would be a good start.<br>
<br>
Best, Klaus<br>
