It might be bit late for this, but we should think about organizing the next board meeting and elect new board members, as some of us have terms that will expire soon.
Also, cascadia.wiki seems to have gone offline. Might want to find some way of restoring it.
In NYC we schedule these meetings with
the person who makes the doodle poll gets the benefit of being first with proposals
I will join the next Cascadia! Thanks

Hello,
At WMCA, we use https://framadate.org https://framadate.org/1ntbVMSBpcdOINX8 same concept.
We would really like to get more involve with Wikimedia Cascadia, especially looking at creating WikiClubs in British Columbia, as of now all WikiClubs are in Eastern Canada : https://ca.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiClubs

Instead of having a completely disconnected wiki that requires ongoing maintenance, I'd strongly encourage either:
1) Use meta-wiki, with subpages. I.e. we already have these 9 pages: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=prefix%3ACascadia There are many benefits to sharing a [watchlist, single-login, pre-existing templates/gadgets/etc, large community of janitors and interested by-passers, etc].
2) If a separate wiki is strongly needed (? reasons should be detailed), then use a SUL-connected sub-domain like some other affiliates do: nyc.wikimedia.org -- nl.wikimedia.org -- pl.wikimedia.org -- ru.wikimedia.org -- etc
I know there are a few reasons for why a group might potentially decide to use a completely disconnected wiki (complete identity-separation, private sections of the site), but I don't think any of those apply to Cascadia (or not at a benefit-level that offsets all the drawbacks).
In summary: creating a new wiki for something, is often an anti-pattern; let's just use meta?

I agree, Nick.
