In my experience, yes the chapter boards are comprised of people who are suitable for making these decisions. Some individuals on some chapter boards may not be, but each board is a group of people, and each chapter has rules which ensure that their decisions are a majority of their board. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
