[Chapter-delegates] Suggestions & comments about chapters andISOC

Sun Sep 10 17:27:16 PDT 2006

I support the idea of a regional bureau as this means ISOC is (geographically) closer to the Chapter location.
This will have many benefits, including being able to better understand local needs, perspectives and the
environment Chapters work in.

I understand ISOC HQ is slowly moving towards and is working on 2 such nodes at the moment, and I look
forward to an expanded presence.

Dear All,

To build a meaningful and dynamic relation between ISOC and Chapters, it is important to understand why the mechanism (particularly
Chapters at country level) is not working in many countries.

Few issues already discussed but I think we should focus more on the strategy like establishing Regional Node of ISOC and resource
mobilization to support activties at chapters level.

Hope initiating activities at country level with support from ISOC will make the relation more effective. Moreover, this will help
the chapters to mobile more resources from other local sources.

Remain to see some vibrant steps from ISOC.

Thanks,
Shahid Uddin Akbar

Dear Franck and colleagues,

After doing some benchmarking work about what others community and
organisations do with their chapters, I would like to propose those ideas :

- The regional bureau is a good initiative, the Chapter has to keep a
permanent liaison and the regional bureau staff informed of its upcoming
activities.
- ISOC HQ should provide ISOC materials for events, and can help organize
and promote chapter's activities.
- ISOC HQ have contacts of government officials/agencies, organizations
related to Internet interests, colleges and universities, and the media to
help a chapter's efforts reach a wide audience.
- Web hosting is an important thing for chapters and many of them will be
happy that ISOC HQ can offer a free web hosting.
- ISOC HQ should delegate the DNS management of sub-domain as tn.isoc.org to
interested chapters.
- It is important also that ISOC HQ know what's going on in the Chapters.
Chapters should communicate with the staff, other chapters, and with the
Board as much as possible to continually include/recruit/inform other
members, and reduce duplication of effort. Actual communication tools are
not sufficient and not used at 100%. For example I never met more Franck in
the Jabber ISOC Conference room. Franck was very active in this issue; he
writes always on the chapters delegates and always connected on Jabber.
- We know that most of us are aware that money is needed in addition to the
energy of our members. ISOC HQ may do more efforts in fundraising and the
project funding may be generalized and be a permanent call for project for
amounts more than 10000 $, and each case will be analyzed by a Grants
Administrator.
- Chapters should send a monthly report of the project's finances for as
long as the project takes. Inadequate reporting could result in the
dissolution of the Chapter.
- A guidelines ( on communications, policy, net etiquette, privacy, ... )and
some training on how to manage a chapter and fundraising should be
programmed in each reach region and each regional bureau should help on this
action.

I hope that those ideas may help on the development of our organisation.

Regards.

I have not heard any suggestions comments about how you see the relation
between chapters and ISOC going.

The only thing I have heard is fix the membership system but while it is
an important point it does not map the future.

Cheers
