Tamara, I don't know about the overseas IOLI people, I suspect that their demonstrating is no less "countable" for IOLI if they are not demonstrating for their local Australian Group (we don't want volunteer hours counted fifty times.....I mean, not really, double dipping is not really smiled upon by the IRS).
But for you, my Dear Demonstration Diva, you should report your hours to 1) the Charter Chapter that you were demonstrating "in the name of...", 2) your closest IOLI Charter Chapter, or 3) if you belong to no local groups that are Charter Chapters, then report it to your IOLI Regional Director. (BTW - if there's a historic house you like, or a craft show you frequent, you could always satiate your demonstration passion by demoing there.....doesn't have to be formally organized, the more people we have lacing in public, the more public will be lacing.) So, Tamara, you belong to CRLG, NELG and NCRLG but were demonstrating for CRLG, so report them to the correct CRLG person. Hope this helps, I'm not the last word - and I'm not infallible. I just happened to see this and answer it to the best of my ability.
