Incompatible doesn't mean prohibited. For the purpose of 
the "political hygiene" within the Society it should become an 
ethical standard that one who is member or even officer in some other 
organization should abstain to run for any office in the T.S. 

According to the Rules and Regulations of the Theosophical Society 
you have only two types of officers: elected (Heads of Lodges, 
General (Regional) Secretaries and President) and nominated (Vice-
Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, on these three levels). So, 
where it should be the boundary between low and high office?
