Please re-read my email: there are no barriers to create a new chapter
(except bureaucratic problems) and/or to take part in another national
chapter.
A lot of chapters give the opportunity to have members outside national
borders.
(Actually, you sent it as 2 emails, but nevertheless, I did read both
before replying.)
Sure, you can join a chapter in another country, but there is little
point unless you actually have some connection to that country.
Joining a chapter just to be able to take part in discussion about how
chapters will work in the future doesn't seem like a good reason to
join.
