[Chapter-delegates] Is Internet Society Newsletter dead ?

Victor, a wiki has been tried, and still exists -
http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/ - but it was never much used.
Also Elena of ISOC Romania made a a valiant attempt to launch a buddypress
http://www.anuntul.eu/wordpress/ which similarly failed to inspire much
participation.
The fact is that the newsletter, carefully curated by hand, with individual
elements coming out as thy happened via wordpress + rss, followed up by a
monthly global digested mailout, was as effective as it gets. My only
suggestion would be that there be some more detailed style options, such as
html or non-html. I especially appreciate that the non-html existing
version was universally accessible.
The rss made it easy to embed chapter updates on our site. Right now all we
have is ISOC headlines rss - http://www.internetsociety.org/rss - not by
any means as comprehensive.
ISOC's piecemeal adventures into social media have, at times, been
amateurish and embarassing. I myself have taken up moderation of the ISOC
linked in group as nobody else was doing the job. While the ITU has a
consistent program of masterfully produced side interviews from events,
ISOC went for shaky phone
versions<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbvna25jL2M>,,
etc, etc..
Recently North America regional director Paul Brigner has made a concerted
effort to upgrade video capabilties of not just his region, but all
regions. He should be supported in that effort.
Raquel Gatto made the point, in a recent North America members hangout,
that it is important to take our discourse to where the people are today,
but the corollary is that it's counter productive to abandon those that are
happy with email etc.. I think it is good to enhance our communications
over new platforms, but that they should only be supplemental to the robust
and accessible existing ones.
