>=20

(ISOC) in Canada.=20
>=20
>=20
> The Internet Society is exploring the possible creation of new ISOC =
Chapters in Canada, either as province/territory based Chapters or as a =
larger Chapter. The motivation for this is to provide enhanced =
opportunities for ISOC members to become involved in issues important to =
their local community. You might be aware that there is only one ISOC =
Chapter in Canada, namely in Qu=E9bec (http://www.isocquebec.org), at =
the moment. Other ISOC Chapters in Canada went dormant and were closed. =20=
>=20
> The good news is that a new group has emerged looking into the =
formation of a new Chapter in Canada (see =
http://isoccanada.pbworks.com).
>=20
>=20
> WE NEED YOUR HELP
>=20
>=20
> This email is a request for "Expressions of Interest" and to invite =
you to help us create more Internet Society Chapter(s) in Canada. I =
would thus like to invite you to complete a short survey before Dec 16, =
2012 :
>=20
>=20

>=20
>=20
> If you are interested, you should be able to spend some time as a =
volunteer helping to shape the future for the Internet Society's Chapter =
activities in Canada. This means taking part in discussions and =
(online)-meetings that cover what role the Chapter should have in =
Canada, what activities it should undertake to advance the ISOC mission, =
how it can best serve it=92s membership and how it can become a true =
=91multi-stakeholder=92 group. It takes time and effort to run a =
successful Chapter and a strong team is therefore needed, ideally =
composed of individuals from many different stakeholder organizations.
>=20
>=20
> FYI, this email has been sent to all Internet Society members in =
Canada, including members of the ISOC Qu=E9bec Chapter as their feedback =
is equally important.
>=20
>=20
> Please feel free to share this link with other Canadians who could =
have an interest in becoming part of this initiative. This is an open =
and consultative process with an invitation to all those interested to =
join the discussion. Please invite other stakeholders to join the =
Internet Society - membership is free and you can sign up to be a part =
of this discussion at : =
https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/NewMemberStepOne.aspx.
>=20
>=20
> Let me also use this opportunity to highlight the purpose and scope of =
ISOC Chapters as described in our policies =
(https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/chapters/start/chapter-formati=
on-policies) :
>=20
>=20
> =95 Purpose of Chapters
>=20
> Chapters of the Internet Society are expected to serve the interests =
of a segment of the global Internet community in a manner consistent =
with themission and principles of the Internet Society. Through a =
presence local to its community of interest, a Chapter focuses on issues =
and developments important to its community. A Chapter recognizes, =
honours, and uses the culture, customs, and language of its community. =
Every Chapter shall have an explicit statement of purpose.
>=20
>=20
> =95 Scope of Chapters
>=20
> Chapters may be established on a non-exclusive basis to serve the =
needs of any specific, cohesive community of interest. Multiple Chapters =
serving overlapping communities are not permitted.
>=20
> Please contact <chapter-support@isoc.org> should you have any =
questions.
