[Irwan Effendi]

Just one question,

Does multi chapter include chapters within the same country? (US has many chapters...)

Regards,

Irwan Effendi

  Dear Chapter Delegates:



  ISOC is preparing to launch an exciting new program within the ISOC community - setting aside funds for use in eligible projects. We believe this will be a significant step in helping local chapters and members extend the reach and benefits of the Internet around the world - in line with ISOC's mission and goals



  It is also our hope that this will be an outstanding way to help fuel the local creative energy, imagination and initiative that ISOC Individual Members and Chapters clearly have.   



  This is a new program and as such it will be launched and then reviewed in future for ways to make it as effective as possible. This year ISOC has set aside US$150,000 in funds for such use and we have placed certain parameters around it in order to make funding available to as many projects as reasonably possible in such a start-up year. 



  We anticipate continuing this program, depending on feedback from the ISOC community, and will address future year funding as an annual part of the ISOC Budgeting process.  In this initial phase of the program the funds available for any one project are up to US$10,000. 



  We have established a committee to handle this process and that committee will be composed of at least three members of the Board together with three members of staff: the Membership Director, the ISOC VP of Individual members and Chapters and the Senior Program Manager responsible for Individual Members and Chapters. The Board appointees to the Chapter Funding Committee will be announced shortly.



  These funds are only available to members of the ISOC community among the Chapters and Individual Members. The projects to be funded will be those approved by the committee after an application process - and they will be projects that further the mission and goals of the Internet Society. Preference will be given to multi-chapter proposals but that is not a requirement. 



  The funds are expected to be used as a co-funding arrangement where another sponsor or sponsors are also behind the proposal. ISOC will fund up to 50% of any one project, subject to the US$10,000 cap mentioned before. 



  We are developing a website to explain this program, to set up an application process and, in future, to highlight projects completed. We are interested in your feedback - you can see the website mockup at this URL: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/projects/index.php 



  In order to get this off the ground and to make funds available as quickly as possible, we have established a program that we feel will be best suited to accomplish this important initiative of making funds available in the wider ISOC community. We are asking feedback not only on the website and application process but on the entire program (and we ask for this feedback on an ongoing basis) so that we can consider your input in perfecting this program in future years.



  As for the website and application process we are asking for feedback not later than Monday March 28th so as to release this in the first week in April. We then expect to have two funding rounds this year: the first will be seeking applications in April with decisions by the end of May and the second would be seeking applications in September with decisions at the end of October. More details can be seen in the URL indicated above. 



  Please let us know what you think.



  Thank you
