[Chapter-delegates] {Disarmed} Your new Member Portal is live! and pretty slow from Georgia

Dear Dan, colleagues,

The portal is pretty slow while accessing from Tbilisi, Georgia  ( non-US ).  It is slow enough to demotivate usage.   (our internet connection is pretty good - stable 35-40 mbps to Amsterdam and NewYork speedtest.net sites)

Another issues we have is that new portal doesn’t have data export feature.

This is pretty disappointing since we use it to extract member data to synchronize with our local database, which also has names in other data in local script – Georgian.
Since we mostly communication with our members using Georgian script E-mail tool is not useful.

So is there any way to 1) improve site performance  2)  add data export function. 3) could be useful to add feature that will allow to add data  to the system ( names, salutation, address etc.  in non-Latin scripts.

BR,

Sandro Karumidze

dear fellow chapter leaders,

when landing on https://www.internetsociety.org/ we find the ubiquitous and annoying lie "We care about your privacy and strive to limit our use of cookies to those that help improve our site and keep it relevant ...". Frankly this makes me wonder if we - as the "Internet Society" should not be in the position to do it better.

If you don't click on the only available Button "Close and Accept" but find the small print link see our Cookie Policy<https://www.internetsociety.org/privacy-policy/cookie-policy/> you will see what I'd call ISOC's remorse. It is a fair and understandable lesson on what cookies do, the role of third parties etc, there are links to tutorials on how to disable cookies, links to add-ons that block cookies that some Internet Society staff recommend<https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/01/lazy-persons-guide-better-online-privacy/>. (Btw. even the cookies policy page doesn't mention all sites that potentially could track visitors of the ISOC Website. Looking into the page source one can find that e.g. also fontawesome.com will notice and collect data about your visit at internetsociety.org according to their privacy statement).

96.7% of all users who land on https://www.internetsociety.org/ will click on [the yet another] "Close and accept" button and exactly this is obviously the intention of the cookies banner.

Personally I think we could gain credibility and attention if we would abstain from the default feeding of Google and others collecting our data. Our cookies banner - if any - should look like this:
"We care about your privacy do not forward any personal data to any third parties. To learn more about how to easily protect your privacy on the Internet read this article.<https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/01/lazy-persons-guide-better-online-privacy/>".

You asume this insane, technically not feasible? I just did a short check of two other .org-Websites that (at least) seem to care and do better. https://www.w3.org/ and https://www.eff.org/ seem to avoid forwarding of data to third parties. I personally would like to see ISOC think about a "privacy by default" policy.

Best regards

Klaus
