Dear All
I want to start with the ending note of Austin's mail. Since we have posted a proposed Memorandum of Association & it's now being reviewed by ChapCom, we should all concentrate on the content's of the MoA & things we need to address before formally going for establishing the chapter. We have long been waiting for actually starting the process of chapter creation and after all, it's a very good news that it's started. It's also very encouraging that the community members & other stakeholders have taken interest in discussing the various issues about our Wikimedia Bangladesh Chapter.
Hope we will get very positive outcomes from this discussion and it will help us in formulating a comprehensive guideline for lots of work waiting to be done.
Regards
Ali Haidar Khan Tonmoy

First of all, I want to make it clear that I'm speaking only for myself, not for the Chapters committee, Wikimedia Nederland, the Wikimedia Foundation, or for any of my other roles[0].
I support the efforts of the current chapter creation group to kickstart the long-awaited Bangladeshi chapter. They've done a lot of great work, and although some people may feel left out, I'll note (as others have) that this is just an initial group to get things off the ground.
I'm glad that public discussion is happening now, and hope people will bring up any specific concerns they have that need to be addressed before chapter recognition and the first general meeting.
Cheers,
Austin
