Dear all,

safe travels to Durban for the ones going there. I'm not traveling this
time, I'll try to connect remotely to the meeting.

First of all apologies for the delay retaking this topic and many thanks to
the ones that provided info. Spreadsheet is attached. It did help to get an
order of magnitude of cost and possible actions. Chapters' needs seem quite
common and shared.

In the meantime I've had some talks with chapter leaders also interested in
this, and added the topic in the survey to prepare the meeting in Durban,
but not too sure if it got in, I did it just around the midnight's deadline.

Please find a moment to talk about it while in Durban or take advantage that
many of you will meet face to face.

No idea if there is any progress in ISOC HQ since we started in late April,
but in any case I'd like to rise the topic again as we are aproaching
October (2014 budget deadline) and I'd like to see it stated and funded.

I know certain chapters would like to continue working on it, I'd like to
know now if we can also count on HQ/staff to bring in input so we find a
common ground to solve that problem, and guidance on the process to get it
into the budget and start in January 2014.

Sincerely,
jordi
