>> We're looking for *ten chapters* to help pilot this project:
>>
>>    - *5 chapters* for the *Archival track*
>>    - *5 chapters* for the *Audio & Video (AV) track*
>>

>> feedback at the end of the pilot.
>>
>> *AV Track*
>> Participating chapters will dedicate *5–8 hours* to producing,

>> training sessions, meetings, conferences, and more. This time covers
>> onboarding to the production, recording, and streaming platform, plus
>> uploading finished content to the CCAP Archive.
>>
>> *Timeline*
>>
>>    - *August:* Online introduction and Q&A session for interested
>>    chapters
>>    - *Late September:* Selected chapters begin training
>>    - *End of year:* PoC phase concludes
>>
>> *What You'll Need*
>>
>>    - *Archival participants:* a computer with Internet access (a digital
>>    scanner is a plus)
>>    - *AV participants:* a computer, camera, and microphone, plus
>>    Internet access for recording and streaming
>>
>> Both the Archive and AV platforms run on open-source software, and
>> detailed technical requirements will be shared with selected chapters soon.
>>
>> This is a chance to help shape how the global Internet community
>> documents and shares its own story — and to have your chapter's work
>> preserved as part of that history.
>>
>> Watch for details on the August introductory session, and let us know if
>> your chapter is interested in taking part.

>> Warm regards,
