> Dear Chapter Delegates,
>
> We would like to let you know about some of the improvements we  
> have been
> working on for the ISOC Website. We invite you for a preview of the  
> ongoing
> work on the ISOC development server at:
>
> 	http://www2.isocdev.org
>
> Please note that some of the content on the development server will  
> display
> in the old website style because of the absolute link for headline  
> items.
>
> This new look for the ISOC site is just the first step in a number of
> planned upgrades and additions to the ISOC site over the coming  
> year.  The
> existing site has been in place for a while and our objective is to  
> develop
> a new clean site that serves existing requirements and can be  
> expanded in
> the future to provide new services.
>
> We have also worked hard to improve a lot of the content. This will  
> be an
> ongoing project, as we update all of our information and improve  
> the scope
> and relevance of all of our Internet-related materials. We  
> encourage you to
> check back regularly for updates.
>
> Continuing from our ongoing work, we have streamlined the site  
> considerably
> and coded it for W3C compliance (HTML 4.1 and CSS), so you should  
> enjoy
> better performance and greater levels of accessibility.
>
> It is important that ISOC have a consistent look and feel to  
> strengthen our
> level of recognition worldwide. We plan to release a template kit for
> chapters who would like to update their own sites to match the new  
> ISOC look
> and feel, if they wish. We will send a mail to all chapters once  
> this kit is
> ready.
>
> Thanks to all those who have contributed comments and suggestions  
> in the past. We are committed to improving the ISOC website and other
> communications activities and wanted to give you an early look at  
> our progress. If you have any further comments, please send them to  
> <web-feedback at isoc.org>.
