[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: [Chapter-handbook] NOTES from the Chapter Handbook review call.

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

I am forwarding this to keep you informed. We still need more  
volunteers to help review the drafts handbook and for content. If you  
are able to review a small portion of the text or supply some  
examples, it would be very helpful to us all. Just send me an email  
off-list.

Many thanks,
Anne

> Attendees:
> Hans Peter Dittler - ISOC Germany Chapter
>
> Wendy Rickard - Editor
> Anne Lord - ISOC Staff
> Dawit Bekele - ISOC Staff (joined later)

> Apologies:
> Jose Francisco Callo Romero - ISOC Peru Chapter - will send in  
> comments
> Joly McFie - ISOC New York Chapter - will send in comments
> Sebastien Bachollet - will send in comments
> Carlos Vera Quintana (sent comments)
>

> Wendy opened the call and asked  Hans Peter for his feedback.
>
> 1. Reference to the "Paid/Registered member" on page 4 - needs more  
> careful wording as could be misunderstood easily when translated.
>
> 2. Leadership models on page 4 - need to include references to the  
> way chapters organise themselves. Need other examples away from the  
> traditional/classical hierarchical approach.   The ISOC template for  
> by-laws is traditional ->> may change in the upcoming policy  
> discussions.  A collaborative approach to leadership or organisation  
> of the chapter could be stressed more and we should provide  
> different examples. (anne - to provide references to starfish & the  
> spider for example)
>
> 4. AMS guidelines for running a chapter -> training materials. Hans  
> Peter noted that we need key benefits outlined for chapter members.   
> (Anne to contact Lincoln for material, which could be added at a  
> later date).
>
> 5. Social media - examples are fine but not complete. Wendy noted  
> that this was still under-developed.  We need to know  more from  
> Chapters about success stories and whether it is working well and  
> how. Hans Peter commented that success depends on region and age of  
> the members. "generation gap". One suggestion was to send email to  
> chapter delegates to ask for feedback on success in using social  
> media. (anne/wendy).  Dawit agreed this is important otherwise the  
> younger members will be lost. Changing "fashions" needs to also be  
> acknowledged. Suggestion to include a "mix".
>
> Drawback on social media section to be included:
>
> One thing to note is the confict with Privacy - this needs to be  
> acknowledged. Try to find some details about 'recommendations' for  
> use bearing in mind the Privacy issue.  Sphere-analysis - also asked  
> about social media being used by Chapters. Anne to take a look at  
> responses and send to Wendy.
>
> 6. Hans Peter suggested including a note about Privacy - re: keeping  
> members data. What should a chapter do and not do - selling chapter  
> data, membership lists etc.
>
> 7. Communicating with the media is often difficult for Chapters.  
> Dawit had a  short tutorial on how to interact effectively with the  
> media.. how to make sure they come to your event, or they cover it  
> etc.  Action: dawit - will try to find some documents and send to us  
> so as to be able to include this.
>
> 8. Dawit noted the use of hyperlinks to make it easier for the  
> reader.  Wendy commented that we have not finalised on-line design  
> yet.
>
> 9. Reference to partners : should also include more on the  
> relationship of ISOC with the IETF which is not well understood and  
> PIR. In 1.1 you could introduce the IETF. HPD can also help with  
> wording in this area.
>
> 10. Dawit asked about incorporation: is it required or not. No -  
> there are many reasons why this is difficult for chapters. almost  
> impossible in Japan for example.
>
> 11. Dawit commented that it was important for chapters to have a  
> flagship programme which gives them an "image".  Dawit to send  
> bullet points of examples from some Chapters in the African region.
>
> Wendy closed the call by thanking Hans Peter and Dawit.
