[Chapter-delegates] Good examples of Internet Society Chapter bylaws

[sivasubramanian muthusamy]

Dear John

Thank you for noticing the error and for the correction.  If the legal
status of ISOC needs to be mentioned in the bylaws, I will be careful to
mention it as a Not-for Profit Corporation.  ( I was writing
conversationally, I noticed that there was a spelling error in the word
"Trust" also, mentioned as "ISOC is a Trustee...)  Sorry for the error.
