[chapter-delegates] ISOC site chapter section

[James M Galvin]

Honestly, I have no idea.  I do not see anything like that when I click 
here:

   <http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/>

I can not explain why you are seeing what you see.  I have added Anne to 
the cc list.  Perhaps she can explain why we are each seeing something 
different when we click on the same link.

PS.  Is it possible data is cached somewhere near you and that's what 
you're getting??
