[Chapter-delegates] A call to chapters’ action

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Regarding your specific questions re ChAC Luis,  in addition to email lists
and ChAC Reps being often active on the CH-delegates list, the ChAC as an
entity meets, as a plenary (with all ChAC Reps) 4 times a year (once a
calendar quarter) and the report/update to the BoT occurs at the BoT
meeting immediately after that plenary session, (often only days later in
fact), BUT of course anything urgent or time critical can and would be
transmitted intersessional to the calendar cadence of BoT gatherings...

Additionally, the ChAC Steering Committee meets monthly, and not only any
ongoing transmitted to the BoT or urgent new issues are discussed,
reviewed, and, if needed, action at these more recent meetings  (at least
since the end of 2022) an 'always open 24x7' box note system where any
matter for the attention of the ChAC can be raised for between meeting note
and action; as well as a separate open to ChAC Reps box note where any
suggestions for topics and activities for future ChAC plenaries can be
proposed is in operation.
