> CHANGES VOTED DURING THE LAST CHAPTER ASSEMBLY IN OCTOBER 2012
> --------------------------------------------------------------
> In order to enhance greater collaboration and knowledge sharing within and
> among chapters, SIGs and other bodies, the Chapter Assembly approved the
> following three changes at the 2012 Annual Meeting (something that officers
> of Student and Regional Chapters need to note):
>
> 1) Judging criteria for student and regional Chapter-of-the-Year awards
> will be modified to have 5 points allocated for collaboration with any SIG,
> chapter or a body within or outside ASIS&T. For the student chapter award,
> these points would be taken from the 40 points allocated for Chapter
> Activities. [Jury will take a lenient view of this criteria this year]
>
> 2) We will create an opt-out (instead of opt-in) to the various lists for
> leaders. If you are a chapter leader, you are automatically added to the
> key lists such as the list for all chapters and any other list.
>
> 3) From this point forward, all student and regional chapter annual
> reports will be made public (instead of them being viewed only by the
> jury), but only after the jury has decided on the award. A chapter
> submitting a report will have an opt-out option in the submission form if
> it doesn’t want the report to be made public. [or you could contact us by
> email should you wish to opt out]

> YOUR SUGGESTIONS
> ----------------
> We have implemented certain changes. These include monthly Skype meetings
> of the Chapter Assembly Advisory Committee, and beginning to revisit some
> of the documents - bylaws / chapter officer manuals, etc. Do please let us
> know your feedback, concerns and suggestions, as well as any update about
> your chapter. These will be helpful to discuss during the upcoming ASIS&T
> Board Meeting 3 weeks from now, and also for the Chapter Assembly to take
> up.
