Dear Chapters Committee,
I looked a little on the chapters commitee page (like
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_committee/News) and found that you are already 5
people and 2 advisors. Adding another 3 people would make it 8. But I had difficulties to
figure out what you really do.
From the job description I can figure out the task would be "read boring bylaw
documents", and "learn about different legal systems" ... which is a more
educational thing than doing real work i guess.
From the URLs you provided one could make out that "write boring and unnecessary
complicated rules and processes" would be also a task.
Could you shed some light on what the Chapters Committee can bring to this world please?
Kind regards,
Joe

Dear all,
The chapters committee [1] has now existed for almost two years and
with the growing number of chapters in the making and existing
chapters, the original crew is seeking reinforcements.
So if you (in no particular order):
- are aware of what the Wikimedia organisation is all about
- are ready to read lots of long boring bylaw documents
- are involved in Wikimedia on an international level
- have time to invest in this task
- preferably have some kind of international experience
- are ready to learn about many different legal systems
- are good at making your point go across without alienating anyone
- think chapters are important
- fluent in English
- are interested in working with the existing crew
please contact us at chaptercommittee-l[AT]lists.wikimedia[PUNTO]org
with a little explanation of why you are interested, and what you
think you can bring to the chapters committee.
We are looking at adding around 3 members to the chapters committee at
this stage.
Thank you,
Delphine
Chair of the chapters committee
