> Dear Chapter Delegates,
> 
> The Chapters Advisory Council is developing recommendations to improve
> support for Chapters. One of the recommendations that is being
> considered is to envisage a new type of funding for Chapters, for
> ongoing activities. The idea that is being considered is that each
> active Chapter would be able to request a specific annual amount,
> itemize its budget, and send a report at the end of the year justifying
> the expenses (e.g. invoices, etc.).
> 
> The funds in question would be used to pay for ongoing chapter
> activities, such as web site costs, accounting and other legally
> imposed costs, cost for the annual general meeting, costs for travel
> that is planned every year, etc. The administrative costs may include
> salaries or fees for professionally-provided support, e.g. web site
> design, accounting, etc.
> 
> The group working on the recommendations has decided to run a small,
> informal, survey to find out how many Chapters could be expected to
> apply for such ongoing funding, for what types of specific activities,
> and for what annual amounts.
> 
> This is just an informal survey, there is no expectation that Chapters
> would be bound by the answers given to this survey.
> 
> You will find the survey at:

> 
> Please submit only one response per Chapter. If we receive more than
> one response for a Chapter, we will use only the last response
> submitted.
> 
> Please respond before 19 August 2016.
