[Chapter-delegates] Welcome Internet Society Romania Chapter!

[Anna Karakhanyan]

+1 Julf

Sending the congratulation to all elected  people or new coming Chapers 
is very time-consuming process wich takes our time. From another side 
new comings need our kind words, so it will be right to send 
congratulations to their e-mail addresses instead of sending to whole 
group.
