[Chapter-delegates] Be Part of History — Join the CCAP Proof of Concept

[Thilina Pathirana]

Dear all,

Those who replied to me, can you please send me a direct email saying which
track you like to participate in?

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*

*One chapter can volunteer for both tracks but depending on the
availability we will select. Therefore, please send me your preference too.*

Thanks
Thilina
