[Chapter-delegates] NEW: Reimbursement for a Chapters Internet Presence - a Pilot service (Phase 1)

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

I am happy to announce that we are now able to accept applications for  
reimbursement for costs associated with maintaining an Internet  
presence for a Chapter. This service is being introduced as a result  
of feedback from Chapters and as part of ongoing and incremental  
improvements in services to support Internet Society Chapters. It is a  
pilot service and it is being implemented in a phased approach so that  
modifications can be made and details tweaked according to feedback.    
All of the pages and forms are in the process of being translated into  
French and Spanish and will be made available as soon as they are ready.

During the course of developing the service, advice was sought from a  
variety of different Chapter leaders. Thanks are therefore due to the  
following persons for their careful review, suggestions, feedback and  
tips along the way:  In particular Hans Peter Dittler who gave lots of  
help early on, Maureen Hilyard and PICISOC officers, Gunela Astbrink,  
Joly McFie, Niel Hierjee, Klaus Birkenbihl and Victor Ndonnang. Thank  
you.

Internet Presence" service details and supporting information can be
