[Chapter-delegates] The Internet Society and ISOC

[Anne Lord]

Hi Everyone,

On the website templates, the Communications team plans to have the  
Wordpress template available before the end of the year, and the  
Drupal template in January. We've also had a request for a Joomla  
template, and we will let you know details as soon as we have more  
information.  If you have other requests, please let us know and we  
will check what is possible and in what time frame.

In terms of webhosting - we plan to launch a service by end Q1 next  
year.  This will be a "reimbursement" service, which leaves Chapters  
to choose the webhosting provider that most closely matches their needs.

Just as a loosely related FYI, for prospective members signing up via  
the chapter portal, there is a web chapter "landing" page which allows  
you to provide some basic chapter information. (the chapter AMS admins  
should look under the "chapter management" tab "edit terms". It is a  
basic wysiwig html page).  You can also add your web presence into the  
chapter map by going into 'edit chapter' tab.   If you are an AMS  
admin and you need help with any of this, please don't hesitate to get  
in touch with us at <chapter-support at isoc.org>.

Thank you for your patience as we roll out these pieces, and as always  
we are happy to have your feedback.

Best wishes,

Anne
