          <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>
          <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            Participating chapters will contribute copies of historical
            documents and photos, preserved according to digital library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>

            that history.</p>
