I don't understand what the problem is with using IRC. This isn't
top-secret; we don't need a private channel. #wikimedia-ca is *for exactly
this sort of thing*
As a last resort, I can attempt translation to French. And I do mean last
resort.

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.

Subject: [Wikimedia-Canada] Steering committee
At the January 30, 2008 meeting I would like to discuss the formation of a
steering committee. The purpose of this committee will be to manage the
project of forming the Wikimedia Canada charity. This committee will remain
in place for up to 3 years or until the WMC charity is formed and a board is
elected. Any suggestions on what positions should exist on this committee,
please feel free to comment here on the list serv as it will make the
meeting more efficient. I propose we need:
1. Chairperson
2. Vice-chair person
3. Treasurer
4. Secretary (Organizes meetings, communicates results, maintains record of
meetings)
5. Legal adviser (Conducts research on legal issues relating to committee
activities and goals)
