Dear All
I want to start with the ending note of Austin's mail. Since we have
posted a proposed Memorandum of Association & it's now being reviewed
by ChapCom, we should all concentrate on the content's of the MoA &
things we need to address before formally going for establishing the
chapter. We have long been waiting for actually starting the process
of chapter creation and after all, it's a very good news that it's
started. It's also very encouraging that the community members & other
stakeholders have taken interest in discussing the various issues
about our Wikimedia Bangladesh Chapter.
Hope we will get very positive outcomes from this discussion and it
will help us in formulating a comprehensive guideline for lots of work
waiting to be done.
Regards
Ali Haidar Khan Tonmoy

I support the efforts of the current chapter creation group to
kickstart the long-awaited Bangladeshi chapter. They've done a lot of
great work, and although some people may feel left out, I'll note (as
others have) that this is just an initial group to get things off the
ground.
I'm glad that public discussion is happening now, and hope people will
bring up any specific concerns they have that need to be addressed
before chapter recognition and the first general meeting.
Cheers,
Austin
