[Chapter-delegates] Need your input: survey by ISOC-NL/ISOC NYC to create new set of chapter website tools.

[Alexander Blom]

Hello all,

A brief update on the survey: we received quite a few interesting
suggestions already, ranging from cooperation with ISOC.org "Information
about statements on policy issues...", "Notifications of potential
expiration of subscriptions, different events and grants..." to warnings
"Good initiative but try not to reinvent the wheel..." and warm wishes:
"Would you like to be involved? No. Task is too big to succeed. Good luck!"

A number of Chapters also offered to help out, which is great and I will
send them a separate mail shortly.

Meanwhile, we need more submissions! It only takes a few minutes of your
time and it really helps this initiative.

Thanks in advance, all the best

On behalf of Internet Society Netherlands,

Alexander Blom and Michiel Leenaars

> Dear all,
>
> As an ISOC chapter, our online presence is expected to conform to best
> practices and lead by example. Properly adhere to modern standards like
> IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS,  protect the privacy of those interested in their work,
> and offer inclusive, fully accessible web content for screens of all sizes,
> these are just a few examples.
>
> Building and maintaining such an infrastructure however, is knowledge
> intensive and also work that has to compete for scarce time with actual
> policy activities, organisation building and awareness raising within and
> around chapters.
>
> Go ahead and check your chapters website at https://en.internet.nl . Do
> you recognize this friction between what we preach and what we practice?
> Can we change this? Yes! The vast majority of chapters has the same needs,
> and the internet as an infrastructure is at our feet - so why not
> collaborate and create open source tools and shared facilities that live up
> to our expectations and of society around us.
>
> ISOC-NL, together with ISOC-NYC wants to start a project that results in
> just such a number of tools, recommendations and shared support facility,
> to be used by ISOC chapters in whatever way they see fit.
>
>
> As a first step we kindly invite you to fill out our survey
> <https://isoc.nl/survey> (https://isoc.nl/survey), that explores your
> chapter needs through a number of short user stories, and also gives you
> the opportunity to participate actively in the project.
>
> The results of the survey will help us put together a project description
> which we will share with you, and which we will use to apply for the
> necessary financial support at ISOC.org.
