Sorry, Roux, I don't think I had you marked down as interested yet when I sent a notice to the people that had replied. I hope you can make it! If not, don't worry. We should wait until at least the second meeting before making any final decisions on key issues like what jobs everyone has in the incorporation process. You'll be able to read a list of any decisions we reach on the meeting page a few days after it's finished. -Jeffery Nichols

I run a blog, http://wikinortheast.blogspot.com/, where I talk about chapters-related stuff. I mostly talk about US chapters (WMNYC in particular), but I would love to share news about the Canadian effort too. Some options:
- If somebody wants to write up a little blog post and email it to
me, I would love to post it as a "guest post" 2) If somebody among you is particularly outspoken about your work, I would like to add another regular author to the blog. No real requirements, just keep the rest of the world updated about the work you are doing in Canada.
The blog is here if you guys want to use it, and if you generate some news at the meeting it's a great way to tell the greater-wikimedia community about it. If nobody takes me up on the offer, I'll wait till afterwards and try to write up a summary myself. Good luck with your meeting!

- Our todo list: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Todo
– I have compiled a list of every step we have to take, as far as I can tell. It's originally based on the Chapters Committee's guide, and amended to add the legal requirements for Canadian incorporation. Pay special attention to section 4.1: incorporation.
- Our proposed bylaws: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Proposed_by-laws
– There is a lot done here, but they still need work to comply with legal requirements. I have reorganized the page so that it can easily be compared to the examples on the government's website.
- A draft of our application: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Draft_application
– I used the example application to make one for our purposes. The parts that we have to discuss are in red.
See you all tomorrow!
