<u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello all,<br><br>As a fresh new charter member, i was precisely wondering if some guidelines for charter membership were available somewhere. I was about to ask in fact, when this thread came up.<br>
I knew that voting was one of the duties, but thought that some others may exist.<br>According to me, charter members should also dynamise and promote their respective (and/or prefered) local chapter as much as possible.<br>
That would be nice if some experienced charter members could start such guidelines on the wiki or elsewhere where a kind of brainstorming could occur on that topic.<br>My 2 cents<br>Thanks<br><br>Nick<u></u><u></u></p><div>
