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

[Carlos Vera]

We do not have only to wait that "...it will not be repeated" Are we 
accepting this? Is this a one way decision? Does this organization have some 
General Assembly of Chapters or some other decision level? Is there some 
process to follow or are we in a propietary style organization where 
somebody makes a decision and that's it? Please clarify so ISOC Ecuador can 
also make a decision on how to participate, if there is some way, in the 
game.
