[Chapter-delegates] Results of chapter survey to create new set of chapter website tools

[Alexander Blom]

Dear all,

In March of this year, we sent all of you a mail regarding the need for a
suite of open source tools and shared facilities to help every ISOC chapter
live up to its full potential. The mail also invited you to participate in
a survey.

22 chapters responded, which we thought was pretty good, and you can find the
results of the survey on our website
<https://isoc.nl/isoc/results-chapter-survey/>. As you will see, some
reactions were positive, some contributed a few interesting ideas, and a
few were more skeptic.5 chapters expressed their willingness to be involved
further in the project.

We then discussed the results of the survey with ISOC.ORG with the result
that they agreed to financially support the following goals for phase 1:


1. Assemble a number of open source tools accomodating:

   - a conveniently editable, accessible, responsive website
   - a collaborative real-time editor for documents
   - secure web conferencing facility with IM capabilities for online
   meetings

2. Create accessible and attractive ISOC chapter templates for
desktop/mobile browser/tablet at least suitable for this projects' open
source tools, with room for posts, background articles and chapter
information

3. Design acessible and attractive ISOC chapter templates for news letters

The designs will be coordinated with the rebranding project at ISOC.org.


In our opinion this reflects many of the wishes expressed in the survey,
and thus is a very good start of the project. However, we can only go ahead
if we can demonstrate a clear show of interest from all of you and
therefore the question to you is: do you want this project to go forward?

*If so, please reply to this mail with your chapters' name and a definite
“YES”.*

Thanks for your support in advance, and let us know if you have any
questions or want to be more involved.

Kind regards,

On behalf of Internet Society Netherlands,

Alexander Blom and Michiel Leenaars
