>>
>> On behalf of the Membership Director, ISOC is submitting
>> Chapter applications to this mailing list to give you an opportunity
>> to comment on them. The Internet Society is most interested to
>> hear if there exist reasons why a Chapter application should not
>> be accepted but you're welcome to offer statements of support, too.
>> Later, we will send a package of the proposed Bylaws and officers to
>> this list, again for you to comment.
>>
>> Criteria to date for evaluating Chapter applications and Bylaws has
> been
>> pretty straightforward: unless there's a good reason not to accept a
>> proposed Chapter it is approved.  As part of involving you in the
> process
>> of
>> reviewing these materials ISOC is open to suggestions on additional
>> criteria
>> you believe are relevant. Since you are already successful operating
>> Chapters, you are best positioned to comment on what is likely to be
>> successful.
>>
>> The application is copied below for your consideration. If you have
> any
>> comments, questions or concerns, please respond by 3 May 2006

> 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.
