I am of the opinion that the NA Chapter should have a closer 
relationship to the other local chapters in this territory, but I do not 
have the time to explain and argue those points.

I write this as an active member of the Quebec local Chapter that falls 
in this territory and personally I'm disappointed that the local 
chapters were never ping'd for their opinion or interest in being 
involved other than some notes sent through this list. I thought of a NA 
chapter as well before and discussed the idea with several people in the 
last years but it was a different concept: I am of the opinion that a NA 
chapter would be stronger with support from all the local chapters in 
the territory.

Oh, did I just say that I didn't have time for this? Sorry, I shut up...
