This metadata entry defines the chapter onboarding framework and maps readiness requirements to governance controls.
Overview
The ISA-Alliance Chapter Onboarding Framework explains how a prospective chapter moves from initial interest to governance-ready status and eventual publication.
Key Provisions
- Application readiness: captures the information a chapter must provide before review begins.
- Governance review: sets expectations for status changes, escalation, and approval discipline.
- Continuity planning: encourages local leadership, handoff documentation, and contact updates.
- Publication readiness: ensures the chapter record is complete before it becomes visible on the public site.
