Hoi, When you call the non performing chapters malperforming, I am ok with that. It is calling a spade a spade.
Calling it insulting that the NYC has fewer responsibilities indicates that you have a thin skin. I am the first to acknowledge that the NYC did some great things. I love to learn the good things they do so that I can use them when appropriate. I do think that it is wrong that there is no USA chapter, I also think that the NYC should be part of such a chapter. The one thing were you do not get it, is that it is not geographically, it is about jurisdictions, tax exemptons et al. This is where national rules make the difference.
The individual states are different jurisdictions in many regards, including corporate law.
