Just one question,

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

Dear Chapter Delegates:

 

I am forwarding the mail below as a reminder about the coming launch of
project funding as described below. We are asking for feedback, if any,
by next Monday.

 

Thank you and best regards,

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
