Perhaps I am mistaken, but my understanding from your email is that you will now create the final version of the chapter agreement. If that is the case, then I also resent being told that you and (unknown) other people in central will decide the final version of the new chapter agreement. These discussions have shown that the days have passed where national chapters will accept central office dictating to them in such a fashion.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>If you want to attempt to summarise positions, and propose a new agreement for consideration by chapters, that is acceptable to me.

We should bear in mind national members will be bound by the agreement, especially if they ever serve on their national committee. It is contrary to democratic principles and the principles of justice that someone be bound by changes in rules they haven’t agreed to. I am aware we currently lack a formal method for chapters to vote on such matters. So I suggest we develop something as soon as possible.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I suggest that this chapter delegates forum continue to discuss this issue as we feel appropriate. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'>Regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'>Brandt Dainow</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'><a href="mailto:brandt.dainow@gmail.com"><span style='color:blue'>brandt.dainow@gmail.com</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Brandt_Dainow"><span style='color:blue'>https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Brandt_Dainow</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'><a href="http://www.imediaconnection.com/profiles/brandt.dainow"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.imediaconnection.com/profiles/brandt.dainow</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;mso-fareast-language:EN-IE'> Chapter-delegates [mailto:chapter-delegates-bounces@elists.isoc.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Joyce Dogniez<br><b>Sent:</b> 06 September 2017 10:15<br><b>To:</b> chapter-delegates@elists.isoc.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Chapter-delegates] Comments and feedback on revised charter agreement</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Dear Chapter leaders,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I want to thank you for your constructive feedback and comments on the revised charter agreement. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>As the deadline for comments was end of August, we will now start to compile the comments and see how to best address them in the final version.
