[Chapter-delegates] [Csc] Online demonstration of new ISOC Chapter Portal (Beta version) - Wednesday, September 9th

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

I will take part in the UTC 11.30 session.

If the portal is now in Beta version, is it online for those who opt to use
the new portal during the beta period?
