that's a great news - was traveling and couldn't respond
promptly. <br>
As you are aware (but some of the chapters' list are new), the
relations between the chapters, and ISOC HQ need improvement,
and it is encouraging to see that the BoT has come back to the
same point, where it was about 10 years ago. Back then we, the
then Trustees, couldn't find a solution to the gridlock, but
your message definitely sounds encouraging. May be naive, but I
trust your good spirit and desire to really achieve a
breakthrough.<br>
<br>
I am sure that all chapters would welcome some positive
developments!<br>
<br>
And if you need any help, please, just ask us.<br>
