<p class="MsoNormal">Given the ongoing global pandemic and the additional difficulties this represents for the chapters, the mid-year round of chapter performance evaluations will not have an impact on your chapter's official status.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">However, the mid-year evaluations will still take place. The goal is to give both chapter Leaders and Internet Society staff a better understanding of what points need increased focus and support per chapter for the remainder of the year.
We’d like to ensure that a maximum of chapters are in good standing by the end of 2021.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Again, this round will not have any impact on your chapter’s current “standing status” and badge. These will remain valid until the end of 2021. Please find the <a href="https://isoc.box.com/s/3nka69uiqz3p9ytvc198872g39kmytpu">detailed
