The question whether the Chapter will help someone if they get into some sort of trouble with the authorities is an important one and should be addressed. Once a letter of authority is issued to a volunteer, the chapter's reputation and credibility is on the line. Therefore, the chapter must endeavor to only approve those members who have a substantial amount of history with our projects and their mission.
In such a scenario, I would expect the chapter to extend help to those it endorses. anirudh (personal opinion) On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 6:52 PM, Anirudh Bhati <anirudh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 6:42 PM, Srikanth Lakshmanan <srik....@gmail.com>wrote: > >> >> >> On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 18:24, <wheredevelsd...@hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Will the chapter or India Programs provide assistance? >> >> >> IIRC both of them lie outside the "content" boundary and wouldn't be >> helping.
