Dear Ted and Ross, Thanks so much for your kind inputs and guidance.
The idea behind having this hierarchy was to manage the smooth functioning of the ALC chapters and to address the following responsibilities. -- New ALC Chapter formation As mentioned, if ALC chapter doesn't exist in any town, the interested volunteer can contact ALC management committee. -- Reporting by ALC chapters To track the status, progress, and impact created by ALC chapter, the plan was, the ALC chapter will submit the status report to the ALC management committee in every three months. -- Guidance to ALC chapters The ALC chapters may have various queries and need guidance on topics like, like types of events that can be organized, how to organize any event, the format of the report to be submitted, etc. The idea was the ALC management committee will guide on this to ALC chapters. With your comments and suggestions, it makes sense to me that "we should be able to manage these things within ComDev and/or VP Conferences." So, I am now inclined towards, proceeding with the existing Apache structure and no longer need proposed 'Organizational Hierarchy'. We (ComDev) team can manage all the stuff mentioned above. Thanks again for sharing your valuable time!
