Bishakha, the program (for WCI) is not a problem. Everyone agrees on it. The funding for WMIN and WIPT is. So makes no sense ask us to discuss in a point everyone agrees and left out the one where we don't. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484

This thread started out with questions about the legal and practical differences between chapter and trust, but has veered much more into the terrain of funding and money.
In addition, there have been numerous emails on bank accounts, grants, fellowships and what not.
I'm glad we're talking about money and funding, but it's seeming like this is of greater concern than programs and activities - surely, funding is just a means to an end, rather than an end in itself?
Funding is being discussed almost as if funding is an 'end' in itself - as if money is of greater importance than the huge amounts of work needed to build editing communities. This is both ironical in a volunteer community, and a source of worry, and I would like to place this on record.
