How to set up a Regional Chapter

The following are the steps for setting up a new Regional Chapter.

• Proposal to the Executive Council
  • determining the region
  • identifying the principal actors (at least 10 members)
  • showing conformance to the association’s charter and commitment to openness and formal ontology
• Setting up a committee of at least two elected officers plus a liaison officer for reporting back to the Association
• Formulating a chapter:
  • mission statement
  • (optionally) further specific regulations

When the proposal is accepted:

• Initial period of 6 months to get going
• Annual reports back to the Association
• Partial financial support from the Association may be possible (applications evaluated on a case-by-case basis)
