[Chapter-delegates] Chapters Advisory Council

[Charles Oloo]

Am in agreement Evan and Sivasubramania.

As Eva suggested, chapters can be made more visible ISOC (CAC) could
jointly organize events with local chapters for outreach, public policy events
etc.

And here I wish to reiterate that the annual grant of USD 2000 is hardly
enough to conduct an event that would enhance enough visibility for a new
chapter in a local perspective, if the local chapter is unable to raise
 extra resources. Lack of resources (including administrative) is a major
hindrance for young chapters especially in developing countries, as
majority of membership are mainly volunteers, others jobless or
enthusiastic college students and leavers. I hope this could be an item on
the CACs first meeting.
