So but what happens if we got money to set up servers in Canada, much as non-Chapters have done elsewhere.
For example, there is Yahoo in Korea, Lost Oasis/Jexiste in France/Luxembourg/Switzerland, Kennisnet in the Netherlands. If you try and access Wikipedia in those countries, your likely getting the information sent to you from those local servers, instead of the Tampa machines.
Those are all caching servers. There is no hosting of content as such. Believe me, this has been cleared with many lawyers ;-). The French ones are not there at all anymore.
In any case, the primary goal of a chapter should definitely not be hosting content, but making sure that the content hosted by the WMF is spread and used as much as possible.
