A measure by Financial turnover sounds dangerous to me as that would only enthusiast chapters to count everything as money, while the most work is done by volunteers generally. I prefer to think in terms of volunteers and activities over money.
I find representation solely based on members or funding quite problematic. The point of chapters is to advance the free sharing of the sum of all knowledge. It's not to recruit members or funds (both not that hard to do with a little dedication) for the sake of influence on the foundation's board. Representation by activities would be interesting although I'm not sure how one would objectively assess and compare the level of activity between chapters. Perhaps a scoring system might be an option that accounts for a multitude of things which would allow chapters to have share of the vote based on how they decide to fulfill their purpose (e.g. fundraising, membership, volunteer hours, cooperations, press management, lawsuits, etc.).
