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.
