It probably might be illegal in different jurisdictions, and in
some - people may go to jail for listening to a US-based
non-profit dictate changes in their by-laws.<br>

Yet, Norbert, could you elaborate a little bit how the folks in
Cambodia came to this text?<br>

Hoho! Would be good to know how many chapters have this in their
bylaws. (I wonder how to work as a responsible board member of a
registered association in county (A) while non members of the
association in country (B) can control and block decisions.) Not
being the lawyer in our board I wonder if this would be legal at
all. And what btw. if a chapter member requests a change of the
bylaws? How could this work? Just for curiosity: is the guy who
"proposed" this still on ISOC staff?<br>

Best, Klaus<br>
