[Chapter-delegates] What is really happening at the BoT...

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Joly,

thanks for attracting interest on these specific points. During the Board 
meeting Patrick (though limited by a phone-line failure, fortunately not 
for the whole meeting), Franck (who fortunately was able to travel to 
Vancouver) and myself (by Marratech) were able to consider the points from 
chapters' points of view, and found good sensitivity with the other 
Trustees.

There are some very concrete points in which chapters' input, and 
chapters' ability to influence our local environments, came very well into 
the discussions, and may lead to action items. The staff support for these 
items from the chapters' and education pillars has been solid and it looks 
like we can look forward to positive results at that level too.

We should be able to make a better report in a day or two.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
