Hi List, Regarding the new proposal for voting in charter members- it's slightly off topic, but I doubt all existing Local Chapter representatives have been voted in by at least 3 charter members. That sets the bar quite high for new chapters as well- under the new regime if they have no existing chapter members it might not be possible for them to a) elect a chapter representative and b) get them elected as a charter member. Maybe I've misunderstood this part of the new rules?
