(Actually, you sent it as 2 emails, but nevertheless, I did read both
before replying.)

Sure, you can join a chapter in another country, but there is little

Joining a chapter just to be able to take part in discussion about how
chapters will work in the future doesn't seem like a good reason to
join.
