I definitely do not support this; it

Oscar resigned from his position as head of the Dutch chapter when he
joined the Board; Frieda will not stand for the presidency of the
Italian chapter again in November. This is not a "punishment", it is
simply a clear separation of roles that helps to avoid conflicts of
interest in many decision-making processes where chapters are
involved.
Indeed, that is quite on point, but not in they way you think. There is
no suggestion offered, nor do I think there will be, that people involved
in chapter governance not run for the board of trustees, untill having
been separated from that role for a year...
