For the private IRC channel, I could
arrange for the IRC channel #wikimedia-ca to be private, though there is really
no need. Personally, I would prefer that it is in IRC as that is the Wikimedia
standard. I would be happy to op a member of the steering committee if needed.

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.
