[Chapter-delegates] Proposed charter of the Chapter Advisory Council

[Nadira Alaraj]

Hi Janiver,
I tend to agree with your argument when the responsibilities of the
officers need higher decision making tasks than what are described in
points 4.2 to 4.5.
But for CAC officers, I still see 5 years is longer period, and we have to
keep in mind that the officers might not be appointed at the same time and
some might leave after their first year.

Giving chance to more officers take these roles is a healthy practice for
the empowerment of the Chapter members.
Best,
Nadira
ISOC Palestine board member
