I would word matters so that an OSMF Member in NI has the simple choice of being a member of the IE Chapter or the UK Chapter, or both simultaneously. I believe this is entirely acceptable to Southerners who generally would be members of IE only.
There are no restrictions on what local chapters someone is part of, and the local chapters need to have a form of incorporation which allows for easy and mass membership and democratic participation in the decisions processes[1].
The restrictions are on what the local chapter can do. They are that the Chapter represent the interests of the local community in its designated geographic region[2]. I'm not sure what it would look like with one chapter representing the interests in Ireland (the island) and another in the UK, and the overlap in Northern Ireland.
