ISEA (the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts) is currently
transforming its organizational structure. Collaborative efforts with
groups throughout the world will replace the single headquarters that
previously was in Montreal.

The ISEA Board of Directors invites proposals from arts centers,
universities, and other non-profit organizations who would like to host
a part of the ISEA organization.

Possible activities include:

+ publishing our newsletter (regularly, or in cooperation with others)

+ maintaining the ISEA web site

+ developing/revising a specific section of the web site (members pages,
list of artist grants, etc.)

+ developing educational materials for ISEA

+ developing a mentoring program

+ representing ISEA in other international efforts

+ maintaining contact with our members

+ global outreach

+ developing geographic networks of individuals and organizations in
electronic arts, especially in those areas where ISEA has not been active
in the past

+ developing discipline specific networks of individuals and organizations
(sound, curators, etc.)

+ working on events that could be co-sponsored by ISEA

+ ISEA "chats" either on the web site or through the ISEA forum

+ WE ARE OPEN TO OTHER SUGGESTIONS

+ + +

Activities can be shared among several organizations (for example,
the newsletter might rotate).

Organizations which are interested in hosting a part of the ISEA should send
the following information by February 10 to:

Kathy Rae Huffman (kathy@vgtv.com)
Thecla Schiphorst (schiphorst@techbc.ca)

Once an organization is selected, we will enter into a written agreement
concerning the use of the ISEA name. Organizations are encouraged to
seek their own funds to support ISEA activities. Grants submitted to
funding agencies in the name of ISEA must be distributed to the ISEA
Board of Directors 30 days before their deadline, so that the Board can
provide feedback and assure the consistent development of ISEA efforts.
Grants which are not in English must include a summary in English, and
the full version in the original language. Long term projects may
include a local and/or international advisory board including ISEA
members who may volunteer to work with various organizations throughout
the world.

We look forward to building a strong international electronic art community through all of your efforts.
