[Chapter-delegates] Chapter toolkit project needs your help

[Winthrop Yu]

     The email project may be the most 'basic', but that is precisely why it is 
needed and will likely be of interest to many chapters. ISOC-PH has already made 
inquiries, and i have started trials, but i still need to follow-up. We have 
also asked ISOC HQ for the possibility of an elists.isoc.org mailing list for 
our members (parallel to AMS, but allowing members to contribute to a multi-way 
conversation). There was a prompt reply to our initial inquiry (c/o APAC 
bureau), but that seems to have stalled too.
