+1 Alejandro.
The non-geographical "groups" (SIG) or Chapters should be more
systematically set up.
Rules, themes and some limitation in a set framework must be known
between Chapters and this new body
type - in case of proliferation. There must be distinction
as for no other reason for the double voting pointed by Alejandro.
Chapters have known mission in the locations they act, the mission of
this new type
of Chapter is certainly different and this type of body should be
recognized someho as
other type "sub-organization" within Internet Society. The current
non-geographic
chapters we have were well justified and with mission that was accepted by
the majority members of ISOC. This case is different.
