                                            <br>
                                            On Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at
                                            01:57:12AM +0000,
                                            Christopher Hawker via
                                            Chapter-delegates wrote:<br>
                                            <br>
                                            >  2.<br>
                                            > chapters are distinct
                                            and separate legal entities
                                            from ISOC<br>
                                            <br>
                                            Yes, this is true.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            > as stated by Andrew
                                            Sullivan in his email to the
                                            Chapter Delegates list on
                                            03/12/2024 at 03:16pm UTC
                                            "chapters do not have legal
                                            responsibilities to the
                                            Internet Society corporate
                                            body". This would mean that
                                            the chapter would have no
                                            legal responsibilities to
                                            ISOC.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            That way of stating things
                                            was perhaps infelicitous (or
                                            perhaps some context has
                                            been cut).  Chapters _do_
                                            have legal responsibilities
                                            to the Internet Society
                                            corporate body, within the
                                            scope of the engagement
                                            letter.  For instance,
                                            chapters promise as part of
                                            their engagement to do
                                            certain things (like hold
                                            elections for officers); and
                                            if they don't do them then
                                            the various chapter
                                            processes kick in (this
                                            includes, for instance,
                                            ineligibility for certain
                                            kinds of funding or eventual
                                            dechartering or so forth).<br>
                                            <br>
                                            The main point I was trying
                                            to make in that message is
                                            that chapters are not
                                            legally a part of the
                                            Internet Society, but are
                                            independent legal entities. 
                                            This is not how chapters
                                            work in every organization. 
                                            For instance, in some cases,
                                            a "chapter" is really a
                                            branch office of the
                                            corporation itself.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            On the matter of the name, I
                                            will observe that we do not
                                            have a requirement that the
                                            entity that is recognized as
                                            the chapter must be named
                                            "Internet Society $place
                                            chapter", and many chapter
                                            organizations have names
                                            that are not of the usual
                                            "chapter" form.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            Best regards,<br>
