[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-NY President Resigns

[Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez G.]

@Glenn +1

After spending a long year trying to get our local chapter 100% 
registered under a celar non-for profit structure in Costa Rica so we 
can even have our own bank account, we found out the ISOC does not even 
consider guaranteeing  the basic yearly support of US $ 2´000/year we 
assumed as the basic support to share one part time person with one of 
our Board members………
