Well, some people are talking about US chapterS, but shouldn't there be only one chapter per country? Otherwise, other chapters could get the idea to split up and have e.g. 16 chapters in Germany. Especially when chapters will have the right to vote for Board members, one will have to be strict about that. Ziko
My personal go on this is: Discourage too much splitting up, but further assume good faith and let the chapters work out the most practical solution. At the end, that is what it is all about.
I fully agree with Lodewijk. Incidentally, if the system incorporates some kind of proportionality - though I don't know what I would recommend - that would go some distance toward discouraging splitting up a chapter just to get more votes.
