Morgan,
If a meeting of all the chapters won't cut it, perhaps that can be used for the
Asian chapters meeting instead. 10,000 euros is a lot for the seven Asian
chapters (AU, HK, ID, IL, IN, PH, TW) should we push through with a meeting next
year. :)
Regards,
Josh

Why don't you create a page on meta, under the Wikimedia Asia Project?
It is hard for me to follow such a long essay.
Btw, I got something from cyberport, they can only sponsor us maximum $10,000
euros for the venue, catering and accommodation in cyberport. So I think we
might leave the chance to the wikimania 2012 or chapters meeting 2011.
Cheers,
Morgan

Josh,
This is personal - from resources point of view - of what WMID may or
may not able to accommodate
*How Asian chapters will help jumpstart other
Asian chapters, as what was
agreed upon in Berlin last April (the second point requires then that we invite
people who are not necessarily from chapters, but are interested in setting up
chapters in their respective home countries)
Personally, I don't think it is wise that WMID help in here. WMID, as
an organization in Indonesia, is not strong yet, like one of those
stewardess inside the flight that say " give your oxygen to the adult
passenger first before you are helping the baby." We don't want both
(mother and the baby) die because we don't have priority on who is to
be safe first. This may sound mean, so be it.
It's easy for the European to say this because for what I see from
Florence's email about chapter's finances, most of their resources
(money) are underspent.
If members of WMID have more time in their hands, or even IF WMID have
more members, I would be focusing to build their capacity first, as
member of a strong organization - before they jump to another boat
with unclear situation and advising things that they are not sure how
to do themselve.
The rest of your points - I think we should start wiki - before it get lost.
