[Chapter-delegates] Chapter toolkit project needs your help

[Alexander Blom]

Hello all,

The chapter toolkit project has been working on bringing the online
presence of chapters in line with ISOCs principles of being open, globally
connected and secure for over a year and you probably have seen our posts a
couple of times updating you with the latest developments. This is where we
are now:

   1. The website template and free hosting facility is in use by 17
   chapters, the latest additions being ISOC.fr (France) switching to our
   template and ISOC.td (Chad) switching to both our hosting and template.
   Send a mail to voorzitter(at)isoc.nl if your chapter would like to
   participate!
   2. The video conferencing tool is live and in use since 2017/12/5.
   Please go ahead and try it out at
   https://webrtc.sipthor.net/conference/isoc, we use it for  every online
   meeting with ISOCNL
   3. The toolkit recently posted its first tool, secure hosted emailboxes
   that strive to be 100% compliant with modern email standards such as DKIM,
   SPF, DMARC, StartTLS (with TLS 1.2), POP3, IMAPS and more.


These are our plans for the upcoming year:

   1. The template wants to spend 5,250 USD on hosting and support for
   participating chapters, and on adding extra features to the template from
   the toolkit project.
   2. The video conferencing tool wants use 7,500 USD to build an IOS and
   Android app for the tool as well as adding audio only conferences, and the
   ability to add or remove video during a conference.
   3. The toolkit wants to spend 9,000 USD on adding 10 existing open
   source projects to its NIX package. They will then be available as free
   cloud services either as password protected tools for the chapter boards,
   or as extensions for chapter websites.

Currently we are therefore asking the Chapter Advisory Council to support
our request for funding for a total of 21,750 USD (see our presentation
with more details at https://internetsociety.info/
docs/201806-Chapter_Toolkit_Project_CHAC.pdf). To strengthen our case, we
could really use some help from all of you. This is what we need:

*Reply to this email, and state that on behalf of your chapter you wish the
project to continue and support our request for funding.*

We will then forward your message to the Chapter Advisory Council. With
enough chapters supporting, we think we have a very good chance of
convincing the Council.

Thank you!!!

Met vriendelijke groet,
Kind regards
