   Agree Glenn.  And it's not just communications between Global and Chapters, 
but the press issuances from HQ which are intended for maximum diffusion.  These 
should be prepared in such a way that they are visual and more readily shared on 
social networks.

   I just received a text-only "news release", that didn't even have a link on 
it.  I will certainly forward it to our email list, but a wordy press release is 
not usually read, certainly not in full nor closely.  So i'll have to again go 
to the ISOC.org website and hope that the related article has at least a photo 
or graphic.  Else, posting a text-only piece to a social network has very 
minimal impact.  I will usually also check other ISOC chapter pages (e.g. 
ISOC-NY) to see if they have the same material in a more appealling (social 
network share-able) format.

   In this regard ISOC has improved in the past few months, as compared against 
ICANN which still issues PDFs.  I would never post a PDF to an FB timeline.
