Special thanks to Aude, Harej, Nicholas Bashour, Bob (racepacket), Sarah Stierch, Kirill, Tiffany, Kat, and everyone else who has been instrumental in making the chapter and our Wikimania bid happen. You guys put out an insane amount of work, and I&#39;m utterly in awe of what y&#39;all are capable of. This is going to be the best year ever. <div>

<br>Please note that as you know there were procedural issues around the approval process -- your bylaws were not fully reviewed -- and because of 
that WM DC should address in a reasonable amount of time the concerns raised on meta (<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_District_of_Columbia/Bylaws#Sebmol.27s_bylaws_review" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_District_of_Columbia/Bylaws#Sebmol.27s_bylaws_review</a>) in cooperation with the Chapters committee. Please pass this note on to your board. <br>
