The Internet Society has more than 110 local chapters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These chapters are set up, re-juvenated, and, if needed, de-chartered according to the processes listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n

Chapter Formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Internet Society members interested in starting a new chapter are invited to think about the steps<\/a>. However, please first check if there is already an existing chapter<\/a> in your region before doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn about the next steps<\/a> once an expression of interest in starting a Chapter is received.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n

Chapter Rejuvenation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The rejuvenation of a chapter is a process started when a chapter no longer accomplishes the minimum requirements to be an Internet Society chapter and can no longer be considered a chapter in good standing, in accordance to Chapter Charter Letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn about the chapter rejuvenation process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n

Chapter De-chartering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If after an official rejuvenation period (see process above), a Chapter is not successful in addressing the compliance issues, the Internet Society will have the right to de-charter this Chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
