Nat and Snorri, since you're the ones advocating OIDF having the concept of 
designated national chapters, I'm going to first ask you to take a stab at 
answering Dick's question.  I agree with him that having a designation but no 
criteria for the board to make that designation nor any definition of how the 
OIDF should treat a designated national chapter any differently than any other 
local chapter is a recipe for future problems.

Summarizing, I think the questions are:
  - What criteria will be used to decide which application is granted the 
national chapter if there is more then one applicant?
  - Does the OIDF treat designated national chapters any differently than other 
chapters, and if so, how?

                                                Thanks,
                                                -- Mike

Subject: Re: [OpenID board] Revised local chapters policy

12 - Territories
OIDF will recognize any proposed eligible Local Chapters, regardless of the 
geographic scope of the chapter, including chapters with overlapping 
territories and missions.  Chapters organized at the nation state level may 
apply to the OIDF to be recognized as the OIDF-designated national chapter.  
OIDF will recognize at most one chapter as the designated national chapter in a 
nation-state at any time.


What criteria will be used to decide which application is granted the national 
chapter if there is more then one applicant?

If the national chapter leadership is lacking and another group wants to take 
over, how is that done?

These are very subjective / political criteria that I think would be best for 
the OIDF to stay out of if possible.
