Hi Anne, 

a form is always good for the reader and for the one who fills it. 
Less work on both sides. The disadvantage is that the space for 
answers is limited. And this is definitely the case with your 
questionnaire. So there are quite some tools that we already have in 
place and never would buy from ISOC. Others - like Elenas 
collaboration platform cover some of the tools you mention and should 
rather not be duplicated. 

So just clicking prio 1 to 8 doesn't tell you much. Here my position 
(not speaking for ISOC.DE but assuming it is mostly shared by ISOC.DE 
board). 

*ID service*.: Would be nice to have. Frankly I doubt that ISOC can 
provide it in a decent way. I mean for all members in AMS? How do you 
know they exist and how could you prove their identity? 

*Email forwarding*: We provide it from ISOC.DE domain 

*Newsgroup:* I didn't here much of a request. Elena's forum might 
cover some of it. 

*Webhosting:* exists, financial support would be accepted. 

*Domain Names:* We have ISOC.DE, we are rather not interested in 
InternetSociety.DE which is grabbed. If somebody fights to get it back 
and pays it - we would accept to run it as an alias of ISOC.DE. 

*IM Forum:* rather not interested 

*Chapter membership portal:* After all I've seen so far I'd rather 
prefer to administer our membership with our own tools. Some decent 
mechanism to synchronize with AMS would better would be appreciated - 
but since we have a viable solution it is not urgent. 

*Topic based Mailinglist:* Would be really useful. But we should 
discuss how this overlaps with the forum. 

*Remote Conferencing:* We do this by now with Skype (audio and chat 
for minute taking) and it works OK for us. I heavily used W3C's Zakim 
before - a lot of additional functions wrt conference management, 
minute taking ... nice to have IMHO but having a good IM function + 
phone over IP is sufficient. 

*Issue tracking:* I mentioned this before. If we seriously intend to 
manage issues (not only technical ones) we require some means to track 
them. For technical issues mantis would be a good start. 

Best, Klaus
