Naming our group
by Pine W 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hi everyone, Please add your input to the discussion at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cascadia_Wikimedians#User_group_name. I am hoping that selecting a name is our last hurdle before getting user group recognition. After that we will need to get our legal issues in order. I think there is agreement to incorporate in Washington State which is relatively easy, but after that we will need to select board members and officers and write some basic bylaws. AffCom may be able to assist us with this, and I am also hoping that we can borrow bylaws that have been developed by the New York and Washington DC chapters. But first, please help to select a name!
