[Chapter-delegates] ISOC 2008 Chapter Review - Your feedback?

[Veni Markovski]

Anne,
I think you're missing the main point here:

Chapters want to be recognized as "equals", that's all.

We have been hearing for many years how things will change, and
cooperation will happen, and there's always something missing. The
fact that a Board Trustee didn't know about something relevant to the
chapters which elected him, alone, is not first case. Can we hope it
will be the last?

If the other chapter presidents think I'm correct, I hope they'll say
so. Or if I am mistaken - same thing.

Best,
Veni
