I think this makes sense. It would make explicit *minimum* levels of per-chapter support, yet should have accountability mechanisms built-in.

Jason made the sensible decision on coordinating this through the new Chapters' Committee. If the principle is agreed, the details can be worked out quickly.

The guideline would be to spend the money as ISOC is currently spending funds on chapter support: events, expenses to F2F events, web sites, necessary fees for non-profit status, ... These are expenses that ISOC is often covering today, but with an inefficient process.

For example, any amount spent above petty cash must be reported on a simple web form within 30 days and posted so others can see where the money is going, Someone independent should check the accuracy of the bank account fairly regularly.
