A further interesting study is the by-laws of the recently rejuvenated DC chapter. They kind of started from scratch. Differences from most Chapters are the the replacing of the President office with two co-convenors, and term limits. Many of the further provisions are called for by local regulations. One thing we've experienced at ISOC-NY is difficulty in differentiating the roles of the board and the Executive Committee. j On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 4:43 PM, Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> wrote:
I believe we adapted it from the ISOC guidelines when ISOC-NY formed in 1997. The early function of the chapter was very much to establish a professional network. The second stage was to provide technical forums, and third to become socially active within the local community.

Hi Barrack, All;
Perhaps we can borrow from the ISOC-NY mission ( http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/Wiki:Community_Portal#Mission) which is in harmony with ISOC's global mission (http://www.isoc.org/isoc/).
"The mission of (ISOC-NY) is:
1. in support of ISOC, to assure the beneficial, open evolution of the global Internet, 2. to promote local initiatives, maximize the societal benefits which the Internet can bring to the New York area, and 3. to advance the professional development of ISOC members in the New York area."

Day 1
- What should our Vision be as ISOC Kenya Chapter ?
- What do we value most of the Internet Society's work and what would we like to achieve with a Chapter in Kenya?
The floor is open, once we collect our views we will have an easier time discussing during our face to face meeting on 19th.
Kind Regards
