[Chapter-delegates] The Internet Society and ISOC

[Ted Mooney]

To all Internet Society Chapter leaders,

 

There has been a great deal of conversation regarding the new web address
for the Internet Society and its affect on Chapters.  I want to assure you
that the decision taken was based on months of research and individual input
from many chapter members.  "Internet Society" is not intended to replace
"ISOC" from either a naming point of view or in the online expression
through domain names. Rather, InternetSociety.org provides a way for the
community and the organization to be more understandable to, and
approachable by, people who are not already familiar with our community.
"ISOC" and ISOC.org will continue to be used where they are most appropriate
and effective.  The intent and belief is that this change adds to the brand
and addresses a wider audience.  While some may be concerned of the work now
undertaken by chapters to accommodate it, this naming addition has been done
with the utmost consideration of both current and future chapters and
members.  The Internet Society Staff and a great many chapter members
believe this change will be for the long term benefit of all.

 

Thank you for you continued participation and commitment to The Internet
Society and the Internet for Everyone.

 

With sincere regards, 

 

Ted Mooney

Sr. Director, Membership & Services
