<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Dear Chapter Leaders,</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The Internet has a history — and
much of it lives in the archives, hard drives, and memories
of chapters like yours. The Internet Society wants to make
sure that history isn't lost.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Under the guidance of the ChAC
Steering Committee and ISOC/ISOC Foundation Staff, the
Mexico and New York Chapters are launching the Proof of
Concept (PoC) for the<span> </span><strong>Chapter
Content Archive Project (CCAP)</strong><span> </span>— an
initiative to preserve the Internet's history by collecting
and safeguarding the documents, photos, audio, and video
produced by ISOC chapters around the world.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We're looking for<span> </span><strong>ten
chapters</strong><span> </span>to
help pilot this project:</p>
<ul style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<li><strong>5
chapters</strong><span> </span>for the<span> </span><strong>Archival
track</strong></li>
<li><strong>5
chapters</strong><span> </span>for the<span> </span><strong>Audio
& Video (AV) track</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong>Archival Track</strong><br>
Participating chapters will contribute copies of historical
documents and photos, preserved according to digital library
standards. This involves roughly<span> </span><strong>4
hours total</strong>: attending online meetings, receiving
training on cataloguing and uploading materials to the CCAP
Archive, and providing feedback at the end of the pilot.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong>AV Track</strong><br>
Participating chapters will dedicate<span> </span><strong>5–8
hours</strong><span> </span>to
producing, streaming, and archiving audio/video content
related to the Internet — training sessions, meetings,
conferences, and more. This time covers onboarding to the
production, recording, and streaming platform, plus
uploading finished content to the CCAP Archive.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong>Timeline</strong></p>
<ul style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<li><strong>August:</strong><span> </span>Online
introduction and Q&A session for interested chapters</li>
<li><strong>Late
September:</strong><span> </span>Selected
chapters begin training</li>
<li><strong>End
of year:</strong><span> </span>PoC phase
concludes</li>
</ul>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong>What You'll Need</strong></p>
<ul style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<li><em>Archival
participants:</em><span> </span>a computer
with Internet access (a digital scanner is a plus)</li>
<li><em>AV
participants:</em><span> </span>a computer,
camera, and microphone, plus Internet access for recording
and streaming</li>
</ul>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Both the Archive and AV platforms
run on open-source software, and detailed technical
requirements will be shared with selected chapters soon.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">This is a chance to help shape how
the global Internet community documents and shares its own
story — and to have your chapter's work preserved as part of
that history.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Watch for details on the August
introductory session, and let us know if your chapter is
interested in taking part.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Warm regards,</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Thilina and Alejandra on behalf of
the ChAC Steering Committee</p>
