[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-AU in Sg and Th next week

[Fred Baker]

if only chapters have access to this page, were in trouble. There is  
no chapter near me.

But more to the point, I actually tried to do that, and the "preview"  
indicated that as a result of my adding my badge yours was no longer  
visible. I don't think that is what you meant.
