It is true that five years ago ISOC Romania started the process, and  
that Eduard has been one of the proposers of it. The problem is that  
there were originally four separate proposals, and at this point  
there appear to be two. The people who manage chapter relationships  
throughout that period have encouraged ISOC Romania to either narrow  
the field to one, or to separate the various proposals into chapters  
addressing separate groups of people. I think Dave's point has been  
that it is not ISOC that has been holding matters up; as long as ISOC  
has two competing chapter proposals, its position will be that the  
proponents of them need to sort matters out privately between them  
and propose something coherent. While ISOC Romania fails to achieve  
one goal or the other, the ball is in ISOC Romania's court.

May I humbly request that instead of sending mail to chapter- 
delegates alleging that ISOC is inept, you take Dave McAuley up on  
his offer to sort things out privately? I believe that you will find  
ISOC very interested in helping once we have a single proposal or a  
set of non-competing proposals.
