To that end, on the subject of outside observers
and open letters:
when writing such a letter, it's important to give context and err on
the side of formality. I've never seen a professional letter begin
with "Dear Sue" (no last name or contact information provided) and end
with "Yours sincerely, Jon" (no last name or contact information
provided). This isn't a huge deal, but it's perhaps indicative.

that no affiliate is entitled to process payments for the annual WMF
fundraising drive... It might be worthwhile to consider that
communications that suggest a sense of entitlement might not sit well
with the many chapters who never had an expectation of being able to
process payments.
Yep. Though in addition to the issue of a perception of entitlement, I
think there's also a larger issue of re-establishing trust between the two
organizations. That's perhaps the central issue here.
