I haven't used IRC for quite a few years. What program would you recommend me to use?

Yep, the channel is for WMCA purposes only.

I never been to #wikimedia-ca channel. As long as the channel participants are discussing about WMCA and not about something else (ie "Can you block this vandal?"), I'm fine with IRC.

For the private IRC channel, I could arrange for the IRC channel #wikimedia-ca to be private, though there is really no need. Personally, I would prefer that it is in IRC as that is the Wikimedia standard. I would be happy to op a member of the steering committee if needed.

I thank everyone for their interests and suggestions. I would like to thank Mitch for writing the bylaw, which was wonderful. I have talked to Alan and we agreed to have an informal meeting with everyone interested in Wikimedia Canada (WMCA) on coming Wednesday (Jan. 23) at 8pm EST on Google Talk (unless we can get a private IRC channel). The purpose of this informal meeting is to let everyone know what's going on at the moment as well as things that we should read to prepare for Jan. 30's official meeting.
As for committee positions, I suggest that we need a translator who can translate the information into french. And as a gentle reminder, the age for individuals running for steering committee should be 18 or above, due to legal requirements.
I would like to be secretary for the committee. I was a participant in the establishment of Wikimedia Hong Kong (WMHK) so I have some understanding in forming local WM chapters.
