Yes, they are the board of directors that are in-charged before the official establishment of a local chapter.

What is the provisional committee? Like, the Board of Directors or something?

Sorry, I mixed up between steering committee and provisional committee (though eventually the steering committee will be shifted to provisional committee)

And as a gentle reminder, the age for individuals running for steering committee should be 18 or above, due to legal requirements.


Just to clarify -- I'm not sure what legal requirement this refers to; the steering committee is ad-hoc and has no legal basis -- it would be the nonprofit that evolves out of this that may have some legal restrictions for board positions.

Thanks,
Gerald.
