[Chapter-delegates] Feedback Requested: ISOC Project Funding turn out

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Hi,

I think that Eduardo has one of the strongest points, the difficulty of 
finding matching funds is high for many chapters.

OTOH I do think that ISOC needs a show of something that makes them more 
credible as recipients of the funds.

Franck is right too but the entry barrier is a significant factor.

I do think then that we must also work together to learn from practice 
what is possible in terms of partnerships between chapters and other 
entities in their (our!) countries. One of the things that is measured by 
contributing matching funds is that the chapter is active and connected in 
its community.

So, let's work this out further...

Alx
