> Dear Chapter Leaders,
>
>
>
> Internet Society Chapters are a very important part of our organization.
> They act as a local presence globally to advance and represent ISOCs
> mission, vision and principles. They are a crucial vehicle for ISOC to
> drive the local advocacy efforts as well as implement activities and
> actions at local level.
>
> To be able to do this it is important that Chapters are well structured,
> well governed, functional and that there is a clear definition of the role
> of Chapters.
>
>
>
> Since 2013 we have continued to strengthen our relationship with our
> Chapters and are working with them to improve on a number of areas through:
>
>    - The introduction of standardized Charter agreements to clarify the
>    role of and the support of Chapters
>    - The introduction of minimum standards and a Chapter Performance
>    Evaluation to identify and support areas of improvement
>    - The increase of financial and other support for Chapters
>
>
>
> With the increased financial support to our Chapters we also have an
> increased responsibility and accountability towards our community. It is
> the responsibility of Internet Society’s leadership to manage its funds in
> a responsible and transparent manner.
>
> This implies that the legal relationship between Internet Society and its
> Chapters needs to be well defined.
>
>
>
> As you all have seen Internet Society launched a new brand identity over
> the last months, with a new logo, new font, new colours, a different tone
> of voice, etc. Some of you have already been implementing this.
>
> As the local voices of the Internet Society, it is important that our
> Chapters carry that same image and message.
>
>
>
> For all these reasons, we are introducing a revised Chapter Charter that:
>
>    - Clarifies the relationship between Internet Society and its
>    Chapters, including external communications guidelines
>    - Clarifies the expectations (minimum criteria, governance structure
>    and support) for both parties
>    - Clarifies the expectations in terms of Internet related positions
>    taken by Chapters
>    - Clarifies the use of the Internet Society Brand and use of
>    Intellectual Property
>    - Clarifies the terms and accountability for funding provided by
>    Internet Society
>    - Clarifies the terms of termination of a Chapter
>    - Reduces the liability in case of abuse or misuse of funding and
>    branding
>
>
>
> The attached agreement has been reviewed by the Chapters Advisory Council
> Steering Committee who have given extensive feedback and input (thanks
> again!!).
>
>
>
> We understand that some of the changes in the agreement will imply some
> changes at Chapter level and we will of course work with all of you to
> ensure you can go through the necessary processes at local level in due
> time.
>
> We will expect Chapters to sign the revised agreement before 1st of
> January 2018 to still be eligible for Chapter funding.
>
>
>
> Therefore, I’d like to ask you all to review the attached Chapter Charter
> in *the next 30 days, until 31st August* and please contact
> chapter-support at isoc.org with any questions or specific issues you may
> have. A French and Spanish version will be available later this week.
>
>
>
> I look forward to working together to continue to strengthen our Chapters
> and to support the important work you do on the ground advancing our
> mission.
