Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the discussion and feedback!

I'm going to add a few notes of clarification and explanation about  
the Chapter workshop which I hope will be helpful.

The Chapter travel fellowship is intended to support participation at  
the Chapters workshop as part of the commitment to Chapter  
development. Attendance to the Global INET is also included as part of  
the fellowship and is important, but the travel fellowship programme  
primarily targets effort to help Chapters with leadership development,  
membership recruitment, fundraising, capacity building and so forth.   
This is not a fellowship to the INET with a small side event of a  
Chapter workshop.

The criteria of the fellowship programme were clearly stated when the  
programme was launched on 9th December. Specifically we wrote:

• The process to select the candidate from the Chapter involved the  
Board members of the Chapter;
	• The person selected is endorsed by at least 2 Board members of the  
Chapter;
	• The Chapter candidate meets one or more of the following criteria:
		• Active member of the Chapter in the last two years;
		• Potential future "Next Generation" leader of the Chapter;
		• Has never been to an ISOC Chapters workshop.

This has been positively embraced by the majority of Chapters with 90%  
of people attending who have not attended a workshop before. This is   
a great response. Some of those "new" people are vice-presidents, some  
are emerging "young" (20-40) leaders, some are very new leaders. Added  
to this, some are existing leaders.  Planning for succession is  
important to help sustain Chapters with new ideas, new energy and to  
ensure continuity.   As experienced elders, we have a collective  
responsibility to mentor the "next generation" of leader(s). This is  
very much in line with ISOC's core priorities.  This is said with no  
disrespect whatsoever for any existing leaders. It is also important  
that fellowships to Chapter workshops are shared and not just  
allocated to one person time and time again so that we can help  
develop and deepen the Chapter network of connections. We also gave  
strong encouragement to applications from women.

It is also possible to share a travel fellowship and a number of  
chapters are doing this.  Right now we have an upper limit on space in  
the room(s) of 100 people. I believe our numbers are currently quite  
close to this.  (Prior to this, our largest workshop was held in  
Mexico with around 47 participants). As 100 is our maximum,  please  
let us know asap if you are considering to share a travel fellowship  
with someone.

Once the total number of attendees is known (which should be very  
soon), we will conduct a survey to get an idea of "needs" and skill  
levels. We will also work with a small programme committee. Based on  
feedback from other workshops, emphasis  will be to cover the vision  
and execution as essential ingredients running a chapter.  For  
example, planning and executing projects, applying for grants and  
fundraising, recruiting members, volunteer management. All interwoven  
with discussion around ISOC's shared core priorities for 2012 and  
examples of Chapter successes to be shared and highlighted. We ask  
that each Chapter fully brief the person that is attending, on what  
they as a Chapter would consider useful skills and information to come  
away with.

One final note, the Global INET sessions will be webcast and  
participation will be available for remote attendees.

I hope this helps explain some of the thinking.

Best wishes
Anne
