Thanks for raising the point.

Yet... an WMF affiliate has some obligations... so how
should we deal
with that in the least time-consuming, least-bureaucratic,
least-expensive way, yet playing our role in representing, recruting and
promoting offline in the mouvement ?
From my point of view as a supporter of offline projects, the ideal
solution is that all affiliates agree that only incorporated entities
will have a formal vote (whatever its weight) in the final phase of the
selection of 2 board seats, to avoid creating new unwanted work about
internal governance.
Alternatively, a simple method might be to decide that all user groups
will have a discussion/vote on a certain wiki page where all their
members can join (Meta-Wiki may be enough if it can be public), so that
it's easy to identify unwanted patterns. (And establish a quorum or
whatever other criteria is decided.)
