I would strongly advise against this, it will probably
just upset
people. I think a better solution would be to just change it to
"Interested Participants" and, if you want, send them all an e-mail
via "E-mail user" notifying them of the mailing list (and asking them
to subscribe), the IRC channel, and that you are trying to get the
Chapter back on track and would like some assistance writing bylaws.

start to move the Chapter
creation process forward, and give it a solid schedule.

I've made preliminary contact with a lawyer with the intention
of getting
some assistance in drafting the various bylaws
that are required to give Wikimedia Canada a legal footing. I'm
hoping
having someone with skill and knowledge will
shorten the time that it is taking us to tackle this task at
present.
My intention is to keep the process as open as possible, and make
available
the by-laws on wiki (and possibly on the
mailing list), so everyone can review and comment on them before
we submit
them for official consideration.
On wiki is probably the best place. And yes, please a collaborative
process, even if sometimes painful (been there, done that :-) ) is
definitely the way to go. I would strongly advise meta.
Casey, are you saying that you object to having this developed on Meta?
I really don't understand why you think that having this on Meta would
upset people?
