Please do not edit war over this.
I think all groups in the movement with trademark agreements will be able to participate in fundraisnig in the sense of raising funds on their own. Direct fundraising via the sitewide notice during the annual fundraiser is different, and has so far been restricted to a subset of chapters.
There is a question of what it means to share banner-driven fundraising 'proportionally' with groups -- whether geolocating a reader's IP is a good method for defining proportionality for some groups, and whether any other methods make sense. And there are philosophical differences about whether this concept of proportionality, rather than something tied to mission-aligned work / effective planning / measurable impact is a good long-term model.
I do not expect us to fully resolve this question by the summer, we should focus on identifying points where there is no consensus.

It seems to me crystal clear that any organization working in the real world has the role and the need of fund raising no mater if it is a chapter or not.
But it seems that I am unable to explain it. It seems that Beria believes that the only way to raise funds is signing an agreement with WMF.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
