Hello all, As a fresh new charter member, i was precisely wondering if some guidelines for charter membership were available somewhere. I was about to ask in fact, when this thread came up. I knew that voting was one of the duties, but thought that some others may exist. According to me, charter members should also dynamise and promote their respective (and/or prefered) local chapter as much as possible. That would be nice if some experienced charter members could start such guidelines on the wiki or elsewhere where a kind of brainstorming could occur on that topic. My 2 cents Thanks
