[chapter-delegates] Results of the board discussion on membership

[Franck Martin]

Veni, Patrick and Rosa

I know you have the best at heart for the chapters, and value your input 
and stewardship at the BoT.

I was hoping that the VP-Chapter or even Lynn would have written to the 
chapter-delegates list to explain the result from the board on this 
topic. I think we showed enough that this matter is of importance to us. 
I was hoping they would therefore communicate with us immediately after 
the board.

It is not too late though. I'm curious to see how they see the issue 
after the BoT meeting.

Cheers
