[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Veni Markovski]

Franck,
you are asking questions, which were responded a long, long time ago.

Here are some hints:
- Chapters are represented by 3 trustees out of 12. Yet, the number 
of chapters and the number of organizational members is approximately 
the same, but the org members elect 6 trustees;
- Chapter Trustees are not able always to move forward issues that 
are of relevance for the chapters, which seriously discourages them 
from even trying;
- Active chapters have tried to work with ISOC, but if their efforts 
have been with no response, they have continued their daily 
activities, without having time to allocate for more communications 
with the HQ;
- Certain ISOC programs, which are quite good, have not been made 
popular enough;

I can give examples (as usually) with ISOC-Bulgaria for lack of 
communications with the HQ, but I don't see a reason why.

Best,
Veni

P.S. We voted in the elections, but we did it very reluctantly.
