[chapter-delegates] Review of chapter application for the ISOC, India-Madras Chapter

[Terry Weigler]

Dear Chapter Delegates,

As Jim Galvin proposed last year, ISOC is submitting Chapter
applications to this mailing list to give you an opportunity
to comment on them.  The VP of Chapters is most interested to
hear if there exist reasons why a Chapter application should not
be accepted but you're welcome to offer statements of support, too.
Later, we will send a package of the proposed Bylaws and officers to
this list, again for you to comment.

Criteria to date for evaluating Chapter applications and Bylaws has been
pretty straightforward: unless there's a good reason not to accept a
proposed Chapter it is approved.  As part of involving you in the process of
reviewing these materials ISOC is open to suggestions on additional criteria
you believe are relevant. Since you are already successful operating
Chapters, you are best positioned to comment on what is likely to be
successful.

The application is copied below for your consideration. If you have any
comments, questions or concerns, please respond in two weeks, (22 April 2005)
to <chapters at isoc.org>


Regards,
Terry Weigler
ISOC Chapters Administration
