Hi Manuel,
We have already submitted the bylaws to ChapCom and are awaiting their approval. I greatly
appreciate ChapCom's advice, especially from Lodewijk and Delphine. Sometimes back in
December, i asked Lodewijk about when we should expect to be approved. He told me that we
should have a look at the draft bylaws and seal all the remaining loopholes and submit a
final draft and hopefully ChapCom would give their approval probably 2weeks later.
At that time, we were all engaged in making preparations for Ting's arrival, the
Wikipedia 10 Anniversary & the Wikipedia Schools Project so I really didn't
prioritize reviewing the bylaws. Since we've relieved most of our burden now, I guess
it's now time to review and make the final touches in the bylaws and we'll
hopefully submit a final draft to ChapCom by 1st February.
I am aware of the Chapters meeting but I am under the assumption that it's only
recognised chapters that are supposed to attend, right?
--Abbas.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Need for a structure
Hi all,
can you please update me about the current status of the Wikimedia Kenya
chapter?
I have seen proposed bylaws, but how far have you proceeded?
Are there any representatives of Wikimedia Kenya coming to the Chapters
Meeting in March?

David suggested that it is paramount for us to
create and have a
concrete structure so that most (if not all) members know their
delegated duties and responsibilities. I personally support this because
the lack of a structure often leads to two or three people doing
majority of the work. I really don't know what kind of structure it is
that would suit us, but one thing's for sure: we need one!
