>>
>> There are two motivations behind this request:
>>
>>
>>    1.
>>
>>    ChAC Charter section 5.5 indicates: "The composition of the Steering
>>    Committee shall respect the principles of geographical diversity and language
>>    diversity." Our opinion is that language diversity in the ChAC-SC
>>    does not exist since all its proceedings must be in English ONLY.
>>
>>
>>
>>    1.
>>
>>    ISOC Bylaws indicates in its Article VIII – Section 4 Official
>>    Language: "English shall be the official language of the Society"
>>    This makes sense for the corporation itself as the working language for the
>>    organization. However, it should not be required for working groups,
>>    committees, and other components that include global chapter volunteers
>>    where English is not their primary language. Moreover, one language it is
>>    contradictory to ISOC's Vision of the Internet for everyone.

>> Please confirm receipt of this communique.
