OR: in the absence of the chapters themselves having (had a chance to)
work out a viable plan, this is a great opportunity for everyone to
provide suggestions to them about the ways they might go about it...

A few comments I have read have been as if the chapters seats are a
fait accompli, doomed, when in fact I see this is a great
*opportunity* for people to help guide the process to something they
are happy with.
