[Wikimedia-l] Info: Election for WCA Chairperson

That means the only votes belong to those on the Council; this could
be easily resolved by other chapters becoming members, as has been
said, but presumably some who have refused so far... do so because
they have to accept the "rights, duties and obligations" of a member.
These include allowing the Council to assess dues, without limit, on
chapters. There isn't even a requirement that the dues be linked to
anything; they can be different for each chapter, according to the
whims of the Council.

By the by, did it not occur to anyone that having members of the
Association, members of the Council, and members of the Secretariat
might introduce some ambiguity into what is meant by the term
"members"?
