[Chapter-delegates] SIG / SG questions

[Joly MacFie]

When the new SIG / Standing Group structure was set up at the start of
2022, there were a set of guidelines posted on MemberNova.

This document is no longer available, but IIRC, defined a principle that
ISOC staff would handle 'administration' roles, to leave volunteers
unencumbered by such mundanity as documentation, web presence, finances, so
that they could dedicate themselves to actual projects. I found this quote:

Processes and protocols for archiving and accessing publicly available
> resources such as web content, listservs and social media accounts will be
> developed as part of the roll out plan for the new SIG structure. The
> emphasis will be to ensure public assets and work done by SIGs is available
> and can inform future efforts while maintaining connections and community
> that has been developed


So, no websites for Groups outside of ISOC, to ensure continuity as teams
change every two years.

Eventually landing pages for the SIGS/SGs were set up at
https://www.internetsociety.org/sigs/ however, in terms of
documentation these are limited to a few focus areas and current Group
leaderships, and there was a wait for Fonteva.

Most groups responded by setting up chat groups on Telegram, Whatsapp, or
Signal, and maybe Google docs, maybe some social media, and now, Chatter
groups are available via Fonteva, working for some.

Documentation/Website? The ISOC-NY A11ySIG plugged the gap by documenting
the Accessibility Standing Group on their wiki, which the new leadership
have ported over to a standalone site https://isocasg.org, now linked from
the ISOC landing page.

So questions:

Where are the current guidelines?

What follow up is being done on documentation of the first two year
projects?

Can SIGs now set up their own websites?

Is sigleaders at isoc.org listserv still a thing? And, if not, is Chapter Dels
an appropriate venue to discuss SIG matters?

Looking forward to responses
