Joseph,
I actually didn't stated my point correctly.
Vista is a strongly established organization in the US, and it now wants
to expand around the world.
IEEE has been a very well known organization for many years.
They both don't have to be "created" by the community around the
world... on the contrary, they probably fear they could be diluted, were
local branches to become too strong.
Oshca can be born because local projects exist... then Oshca can help
these local project become international.
So, my opinion is that Oshca could state more accurately its policy
regarding local branches... but I wont argue about this any longer if
nobody shares this feeling.

I agree.
Do you think that the rules regarding local branches can be postponed?
This means that local branches can't be created "in the move". Why not?
But when?
What is your feeling about the other points (4.2 and 8)?
And, by the way, can someone explain the point about Trade unions?
Cheers,
Philippe
