[Chapter-delegates] Review of chapter application for the Nepal Chapter of the Internet Society

[Terry Weigler]

Dear Chapter Delegates,

ISOC is submitting  Chapter applications to this mailing list to 
give you an opportunity  to comment on them.  The VP of Chapters 
is most interested to hear if there exist reasons why a Chapter 
application should not be accepted but you're welcome to offer 
statements of support, too.  Later, we will send a package of 
the proposed Bylaws and officers to this list, again for you to comment.

Criteria to date for evaluating Chapter applications and Bylaws has been
pretty straightforward: unless there's a good reason not to accept a
proposed Chapter it is approved.  As part of involving you in the process of
reviewing these materials ISOC is open to suggestions on additional criteria
you believe are relevant. Since you are already successful operating
Chapters, you are best positioned to comment on what is likely to be
successful.

The application is copied below for your consideration. If you have any
comments, questions or concerns, please respond in two weeks, 21 October
to <chapters at isoc.org>

Regards,
Terry Weigler
ISOC Chapters Administration
