        great idea and the project should move forward. However,as you
        can read in other emails there are already many ideas and
        comments as to what type of tools to use. The next step should
        be for you to tell the chapters your recommended tools and let
        us comment on them as to the coms and pros before deciding on
        anything. After all we are going to end using these.

                  <div>Dear all,
                    <p style="margin-bottom:0in">In March of this year,
                      we sent all of
                      you a mail regarding the need for a suite of open
                      source tools and
                      shared facilities to help every ISOC chapter live
                      up to its full
                      potential. The mail also invited you to
                      participate in a survey.</p>
                    <p style="margin-bottom:0in">22 chapters responded,
                      which we thought
                      was pretty good, and you can find <a
                        moz-do-not-send="true"
                        href="https://isoc.nl/isoc/results-chapter-survey/"
                        target="_blank">the results of the survey on our
                        website</a>. As you will see, some reactions
                      were positive, some
                      contributed a few interesting ideas, and a few
                      were more skeptic.5 chapters expressed their
                      willingness
                      to be involved further in the project.</p>
                    <p style="margin-bottom:0in">We then discussed the
                      results of the
                      survey with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                        href="http://ISOC.ORG" target="_blank">ISOC.ORG</a>
                      with the result that they agreed to financially
                      support the following goals for phase 1:</p>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  <br>
                </div>
                1. Assemble a number of open source tools accomodating:<br>
                <div>
                  <ul>
                    <li>a conveniently editable,
                      accessible, responsive website </li>
                    <li>a collaborative real-time editor for
                      documents </li>
                    <li>secure web conferencing facility with
                      IM capabilities for online meetings</li>
                  </ul>
                  <p style="margin-bottom:0in">2. Create accessible and
                    attractive ISOC
                    chapter templates for desktop/mobile browser/tablet
                    at least suitable
                    for this projects' open source tools, with room for
                    posts,
                    background articles and chapter information</p>
                  <p style="margin-bottom:0in">3. Design acessible and
                    attractive ISOC
                    chapter templates for news letters</p>
                  <p style="margin-bottom:0in">The designs will be
                    coordinated with
                    the rebranding project at ISOC.org.</p>
                  <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
                  </p>
                  <p style="margin-bottom:0in">In our opinion this
                    reflects many of
                    the wishes expressed in the survey, and thus is a
                    very good start of the
                    project. However, we can only go ahead if we
                    can demonstrate a clear show of interest from all of
                    you and
                    therefore the question to you is: do you want this
                    project to go
                    forward?</p>
                  <div>
                    <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><i><u>If so, please
                          reply to this mail with
                          your chapters' name and a definite “YES”.</u></i></p>
                    <p style="margin-bottom:0in">Thanks for your support
                      in advance, and
                      let us know if you have any questions or want to
                      be more involved. </p>
