When you create many "chapters" not based on

I do not think it makes sense to allow such local chapters the same status
as national chapters. It does not make sense to give them all some rights to
use the WMF trademarks. Restricting this to the WMF for the USA only does
also not make sense, it seems to me not what the WMF is there for.
I agree completely. Other people have also had great ideas about organizing things based
on metro
areas. Thus I think a middle ground exists here; a national chapter whose functional units
are
based out of metro areas. Call the metro units whatever you want. One out of many.
