Having said that, there are certain issues that can prevent a smooth transition from a chapter to a user group. In particular, any individuals considered to have personal responsibility for an outstanding compliance issue -- which means, generally speaking, the actual signatories of a chapter or grant agreement, but could potentially include every member of the governing board in the case of an incorporated affiliate -- are not eligible to serve as signatories of a new user group agreement until the original compliance issue has been resolved.
On this point, how would this apply in situations such as WMPH's where the group has been disendorsed and can no longer move back towards compliance? I don't see at this point how for instance folks involved with that chapter might "resolve" any issues in order to participate in a user group down the road. Possibly this is a hypothetical situation.
Generally speaking, I do feel that it's probably not helpful for those of us who are not familiar with the specific situation at hand to be making public statements laying blame or sharing opinions. Most of us (myself included) probably do not know the full story here.
Cheers, Craig
