[Chapter-delegates] Application to form a Chapter in Mumbai, India

Sun Jun 4 00:45:38 PDT 2017

Dear Joel, 

Thank you so much for these recommendations. 

We would surely encourage the chapter on registration. 

A number of founders are associated with an ISOC chapter as a member. 

Best regards,

Naveed Haq

Hello 

Thanks Naveed for this post! I see the application as befitting the status they so seek, however I have two recommendations to make: 

1. That the Team lead by Prateek should go ahead and seek registration as a society as soon as possible without having to wait for a year because it usually a lengthy process that has its milestones. So under Bullet G. Requirements, start right away. 

2. We would be keen to know whether the founders have been affiliated to another chapter before (ISOC Chennai or so), as that is usually the springboard.  

Best regards, 

Joel Okomoli 

ISOC Kenya Chapter.

Once the chapter is incorporated and successfully operates for a year, we will solicit support and official representation from these organizations in ISOC Mumbai Chapter. Additionally, some of our members have their own independent practice as lawyers, social activists, chartered accountants and visual artists. To solicit interest among younger generation and train future leader of internet, our team includes students as well. 

F. Membership

As ISOC Mumbai represents interest of diverse stakeholders within Mumbai and as each of these representatives has a track record of outreach within his domain, we will be able to attract new talent to engage with activities of ISOC Mumbai. Specifically, we will be approaching our workplaces as well as alma mater to promote ISOC activities. 

Majority of our members are young (i.e. below the age group of 30) and we will work with older ISOC Mumbai members and collaborate with other ISOCs (like ISOC Trivandrum, ISOC Delhi etc.) to come up with means to nurture the next generation of leaders. The primary means of engaging with members and would-be members will be email-based communications (including newsletters) and private social media groups. Periodic face-to-face meetings and online meetings will supplement email-based communications.

G. List of requirements

 Once we are incorporated, operational for a year and willing to raise funds, then we plan to register ourselves as a society under the Indian Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.
