There's a difference between voice and votes. US Chapters can participate in meetings, committees, etc. However, when it comes to chapters voting on for example Chapter selected board seats the possibility that the US could potentially have 50 votes is very unfair/scary/overwhelming

The idea that all US chapters would have only a single voice in movement-wide discussions. This hasn't been demanded except by tiny minority among other chapters -- and certainly not by anyone who will actually be involved in recognizing future US chapters.
As far as I'm concerned, that element makes this proposal a total non-starter.

It's entirely unclear to me why we're proposing to make such dramatic political concessions, particularly given the lack of any meaningful external pressure to do so.
