Would you please also comment on Russia which has a chapter consisting of I believe seven (or nine?) members, which does not accept new members and maintains an invitation-only mailing list (which is open not only to chapter members, but one still needs to apply and give an explanation why he/she wants to be on the list, or be invited by a chapter member)? Everyone can be involved in the activities organized by the chapter (which are admittedly not so many), but what about elections and representation?
