Thanks for getting that started.
What kind of problems do you foresee with incorporation if we kept the name Wikimedia
Canada? I would rather keep the standardized name unless it would cause too many legal
hassles. Most of the famous NGO with chapters in many countries use the standard name in
Canada, so I don't see why that would be a problem for us.

Hello All
I have made a number of further edits to our bylaws. I have made the minimum number of
directors 5 and shall go with the 5 listed here
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Steering_Committee unless others wish to
also add their names. I hope to finish work on the by laws tomorrow and submit them
shortly to the Chapter Committee for approval and feedback. Please if everyone could take
a further look at them and comment.
I have altered the name used in the documents from Wikimedia Canada to Wiki Canada. The
Chapter Committee does not have issues with this and it will makes us a little more
independent and thus incorporation / charity status easier.
I have begun filling out the forms for incorporation / charity status. I am planning on
using my address here in Cranbrook, British Columbia as the societies mailing address
unless others have a preferred suggestion.
Once incorporated I think I will be able to get us an banking account without banking
fees through National Bank.
