[Chapter-delegates] LoA for good or bad?

[Eduard Tric]

Hi Eric, Norbert,
I think the point is not whether or not the per capita income is a variant around the globe, because it's a fact : coffee and secretariat costs , and zillons of other things hopefully have different market prices. If we start comparing this, one must say that gas, food , clothes, software, cars, for example are way chaper in US than in Europe.
The real point here is that the cost of a , let's pick at random a ...  .org domain is constant, invariable , weather you buy it in Cambodia, Senegal , Romania or United states of America.
Regards,
Ed

Norbert - 
According to the World Bank (2010 numbers), Cambodia's per-capita income is USD 63/month. Per capita income in Switzerland is USD 5863/month. Switzerland's per capita income is two orders of magnitude greater than Cambodia's. However, I was not comparing Cambodia to Switzerland. I was comparing Cambodia to Senegal. Senegal has a vibrant chapter, is doing a lot of projects, does not charge members dues, and manages to cover all of their costs through the sales of coffee at their meetings. I will concede that Senegal's per capita income is higher than Cambodia at US 87/month. However, I would offer that coffee and secretariat costs in Senegal are more expensive than in Cambodia.

I had forgotten, at that time, to inform the writer that the monthly salary of a high school teacher here is about US$50 (five zero, not five hundred). Maybe we should really blame them – our 100 members – for not providing the local support for a start-up office and a secretary, to be sustainable?
