Thanks Rosa and very good suggestion indeed. I would also suggest set a
priority level (1 to 5)  on  their requests, so we can figure out what
is urgent and what is less.

My list :

1. Multi-lingualism  - priority 5

As long as the form will only be available in English, my chapter will
be unable use the ISOC membership web site for registering new members
and will have to continue with manual registration with ISOC.
Chapters can help with the translation. Please ask.

2. SSL - priority 3

We are asking our members to send sensitive data via an unsecured form.
This is not acceptable. A SSL certificate costs close to nothing these
days.

3. One page registration form  - priority 3

The current system is too complicated. Even more for non-English
speakers. The option to join a chapter could easily be overlooked. In
addition, if we are re-directing from the chapter web site to the
membership side, there should be a possibility to indicate the chapter
name as an URL parameter.

Best regards,

Patrick
