[Chapter-delegates] Invitation: ISOC at ICANN78 reception (really Taiwan)

[Johan Helsingius]

Thank you for the invitation, but on the registration form I happened
to notice that Taiwan is listed as "Province of China" in the list
of participant countries. While I can understand that that is based
on ISO3166 and thus UN politics, I then checked with a colleague
from Taiwan, and was told that they were also not allowed to
have an "ISOC Taiwan Chapter", but only a Taipei Chapter.

I am curious as to who made that decision, and why.
