[Chapter-delegates] Welcome Internet Society Romania Chapter!

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

+1 Julf. Email's still the most efficient means of communication.
The problem stems from every local chapter board election announcement & 
chapter rejuvenation causing a wave of reply-all congratulations. With 
over 100 chapters, we'll never end the congratulations!
I'd rather learn about what Chapters are actually DOING rather than 
self-congratulations which is not much of an achievement, in my opinion. 
And I have congratulated newly formed chapter leaders by direct personal 
email because I can't think that the hundreds of other people find it of 
value that I'd say "Congratulations xyz, I look forward to working with 
you and meeting in the future".
Kindest regards,

Olivier
