[Chapter-delegates] my input to the bylaws discussion

[Veni Markovski]

Agree.
That's one of the reasons I personally do not interfere recently in the 
debate on the by-laws (to the extent such a debate exists, of course).
ISOC-Bulgaria will continue to exist, and whether it is a chapter or not 
of ISOC - it's not our problem. We have the name and recognition, which 
we managed to build on our own, and if the new by-laws are not in 
accordance with what we think they should be, we are not necessarily 
desperate to continue to be an official chapter. It's not the task of 
our organizations to try to be chapters; the existence of all chapters 
is something that benefits ISOC.
The issues with the letters, affiliations, etc. are so minor, compared 
to the possibility of changing the fundamental principles of the open 
and free Internet, that it's not worth even discussing them.
