[Chapter-delegates] Is Internet Society Newsletter dead ?

[Keith Davidson]

Hi all,

I wish these decisions were made from bottom-up rather than this 
top-down decision to dispense with the newsletter.

Cheers

We are looking into replacing this newsletter with a blog platform (to be launched early Oct) that will also offer new "subscribe" options that can be filtered by specific topics. This will allow our readers to follow general updates, as well as specific themes. It will also provide the opportunity for chapter content and updates.

Information about funding, new available resources, important information you can share with your members and communities, etc. It mainly provides links to our website as we received the feedback some information is not always easy to find or needs some highlighting once in a while.
