This is a general comment, but having finally gotten around to reading some of the mailing list posts to this list (wikimedia-dc) from the past few days, a lot of the tone of various aspects of this proposed chapter, etc. strikes me as stiflingly and wholly unnecessarily formalistic. I appreciate organization and I appreciate passion, but I think there are some people who are much more interested in mock government and rules of order than a more laid-back approach where the goal is that people who enjoy free culture/wikis/etc. hang out and geek out.
Perhaps I'm alone in these feelings and perhaps I simply need to stop associating with whatever Wikimedia DC becomes, if the general consensus is that things are headed in the right direction. I do wonder if others agree, though.
Does Wikimedia DC have a statement of principles or anything like that at this point?
