I would be very surprised at this, a reasonably larger percentage of the
Arab world has WOSM member organizations and I doubt that any of them

Congratulations, you have just succeeded in recreating the most generally
disliked set of proposed by-law amendments in the last 10 years. 1/2 :) (Yale
Zussman proposed at the 1992 to replace all mentions of BSA with the WOSM
in all APO documents as well as a couple of other things related to that.)

I'm not sure the GSUSA would take us up on the offer if we made it. GSUSA
tends to be somewhat skittish (better word?) when it comes to Alpha Phi
