[Chapter-delegates] Application to form a Chapter in Bangalore, India

[Veni Markovski]

I share Franck's notes, and having the Bulgarian chapter in situations
with ISOC.org in the past, I feel Shiva may need more support from the
rest of us, while keeping the options for new chapters in India open.
After all, it is important to at least try to build good relations not
only between ISOC.org and the chapters but also between the chapters
in any given country.

Veni
