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.

Steering committee
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.
