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.

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.
