Hi all!<br>
<br>
The official name of the Chapter (when chartered by the Internet Society again) would indeed be &quot;Internet Society Kenya Chapter&quot;, or ISOC Kenya Chapter - however for the sake of clarity it is always good to use the full name &quot;Internet Society&quot; rather than &quot;ISOC&quot; as this also helps reaching out to people who might never have heard of &quot;ISOC&quot; before.<br>


<br>
Once the first official steps in the Chapter formation process have been taken (e.g. Chapter application &amp; bylaws sent to the Internet Society), the Chapter will be granted the interim name of &quot;Internet Society Kenya Chapter in formation&quot; and will be listed as thus on the Internet Society website.<br>


<br>
The official Chapter logo will also provided to the Chpater by the Internet Society once the Chapter is chartered again. You can have a look at the Internet Society&#39;s Identity Guidelines at <a href="http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/identity/docs/identity_guidelines.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/identity/docs/identity_guidelines.pdf</a> for more information. However, please note that the Internet Society is currently reviewing its visual identity, so this will change quite a bit before the end of 2011 - we will keep you updated on these changes.<br>


<br>
I hope this is helpful.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Christine<br>
