<p>I think rather than ISOC upping its communication to the
general membership it might need to direct/assist Chapter
leaders more with their communications needs. While I
wholeheartedly support the bottom up, multistakeholder ethos, I
believe some general direction is needed by many of the Chapters
in terms of the kind of general Internet-related news and issues
they should be informing their members about and the tools that
can help them do it.<br>

<p> But rather than 'general direction' that simply drives
chapters (and their members) to use 3rd party platforms which may
or may not be ideal for or preferred by the chapter and its
members, i believe alternatives (even more basic and
straightforward ones) should be made available. <br>
</p>
<p> I recall that the Chapters Advisory Council endorsed ISOC
HQ's support for ISOC-NLs development (and provisioning) of just
such tools. Would anyone know if this has moved forward? <br>
