[Chapter-delegates] Translated versions of the Draft Affiliation Agreement now available - Last call for feedback

[Anne Lord]

hi Carlos,

Many thanks for your email. I am sorry if I was not clear. The main  
piece of work requested is to review the *content* of the agreement.   
At the same time, if there are errors in the grammar, I would be  
delighted to have volunteers to review and improve the document, but  
this is *not* a must.  This is not a final document - it is a draft,  
so at this stage, my main goal is that it is understandable.     
However any suggestions to improve the grammar would be gratefully  
received at <chapter-support at isoc.org>.

Many thanks!
Anne

> 2. To work on the content of the agreement not only in the

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The purpose of the Affiliation Agreement is to provide a clear  
> framework for the exchange of value between ISOC HQ and the ISOC  
> Chapters, where none exists today. It defines a set of minimum  
> standards to be considered an 'active' Chapter, and describes the  
> support and resources available from ISOC HQ to help achieve that  
> minimum. The emphasis is on helping each other to succeed in  
> collectively advancing the ISOC mission.

> TRANSLATIONS
> The French and Spanish translations of the 2nd version of the draft  
> Affiliation Agreement are now available (along with the English  
> version) on the ISOC Chapter wiki at:

> , where you can find Version 1 of the draft Agreement and the

> Taskforce response.

> HELP NEEDED
> In the interests of getting these translations to you as quickly as  
> possible, they have not been verified by native speakers.  We would  
> really appreciate your help.  In addition to your feedback, if you  
> spot any errors in the translations, please let us know by emailing <chapter-support at isoc.org 
> > with details.
>
> TIMELINE
> The deadline for feedback has, by request, been extended to 29th  
> October 2010.  All feedback will be considered and collated for the  
> Chapter Taskforce to consider.  This process began a year ago in  
> October 2009 (see: https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/chapter-delegates/2009-October/005467.html) 
> . This is now a 'last call' for feedback prior to the request for  
> endorsement by the ISOC Board of Trustees meeting mid November.
