[chapter-delegates] ISOC SOP

[Irwan Effendi]

Dear Veni,

I didn't say that the SOP has nothing good inside, but to me all those good
things are what is currently already taking place. I was wondering about the
"plan" part, because a plan is suppose to be for something that has not yet
been done, am I correct ?

For example,  Indonesia has an operating plan for April to June 2005 (we
make plans for three months only) and it goes as follow:

Target

1. Resume the currently postponed web developer competition.
2. Finish the currently under development "web site for community"
3. Recruit 100 new members.

Method

1. Coordinators are to rethink new plans for obtaining sponsors and
participants. Hold meetings, conferences, seminars and workshops as
neccessary
2. Add all the missing elements and work on the completion of the html based
conference room
3. Public relation officer is to arrange for school and campus tour, in the
number of 20 or more.


I already asked some of our active members, and apparently, I am not the
only one failed to find the "plan" part in ISOC SOP. Maybe, it's because
language and culture, that's why I need someone to copy and paste that
"plan" part and explain to me what it means.

Thank you in advance,

Irwan Effendi

Regards,

Irwan Effendi
