> F. List of Requirements
> 
> Our organizational design is that the Chapter would function as an
unit
> inside Foundation Metamorphosis. If this kind of setup is possible
then no
> special documentation and fees are needed. If the Chapter is
registered as
> a separate NGO then a statute of the international organization as
well as
> a recommendation would be needed for local court registration  as
well as
> a sum of money needed for account registration and state fees. This
> process
> would last for 1-2 months. If the Chapter is inside the Foundation
there
> are no obstacles to start the application process to ISOC right now.

> G. Additional Information
> 
> Foundation Metamorphosis is spin-off of the Foundation Open Society
> Institute  Macedonia  (http://www.soros.org.mk) and it inherits and
> implement it’s Information Program. It employs directly and per
project
> basis about 10 IT & NGO experts. Foundation Metamorphosis
> (http://www.metamorphosis.org.mk) is one of the partners (together
with
> the
> Government’s Commission for information technology (www.kit.gov.mk)
and
> UNDP) of the process “National Strategy and Action Plan for
Information
> Society”. This project is in its final phase  the documents have been
> drafted and now they are facing Government procedure. During this
process
> we have formed Overcoming the Digital Divide Focus Group of ICT NGO’s
and
> ICT-media as well as partnered with the experts that are part of the
> Strategy Task Force. We have the unique opportunity to gather the key
> players of the Macedonian Internet Society with the formation of the
local
> Chapter. Foundation Metamorphosis together with MDW/USAID is starting
to
> implement the project for e-municipalities that is one of the key
parts of
> the new National Strategy. The project also covers local e-riders for
the
> municipalities as well as supporting Public Internet Access Points.
> Therefore we think that our scope of work and engagements laid out
> coincide
> with the initiative for Local Chapter and that’s why we would like to
> apply.
