[Chapter-delegates] Communications materials development

[Greg Wood]

Hello Khaled,

As you have noted, the "http://InternetSociety.org" now redirects to http://ISOC.org 
  and we have begun to use InternetSociety.org for pointers in  
communications material (such as general publications and press  
releases).

This is helpful since InternetSociety.org references and reinforces  
the Internet Society name for audiences who may not be already  
acquainted with the Internet Society as "ISOC".

Please note that nothing is changing about the way ISOC.org "works".  
ISOC.org is well established within the community as the domain name  
for the Internet Society, and it will continue to be used in many  
cases. In fact, ISOC.org is useful even for external audiences where  
it is possible to establish clearly that ISOC is shorthand for  
"Internet Society".

So, "ISOC.org" remains our default domain name and the one we use in  
the majority of cases. However, being able to use  
"InternetSociety.org" for general communications purposes is a nice  
option.

Hope that helps,
-Greg
