Klaus,
This is very helpful. I'm still looking forward to compiling the survey
information. Among the other advantages of the 'form' is that the receiver
can easily see what answers appear most frequently and therefore be able to
establish priorities. I see that Veni has 'plus-oned' your suggestions. We
will look for the trends and recurring answers and then send another message
to everyone to let you know how we interpreted the answers and what we think
the information tells us.
Thanks.
Ted

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
