I apology. I'll use the proper terminology in the future.
The confusion mostly came from the fact I had absolutely not understood
that chapters at the national level, or chapter at any other level would
have exactly the same rights and roles than the currently existing chapters.
I did not mean to belittle the recently created chapter.
Please also note that I never questionned the necessity for USA to need
or not need something, but originally thought these chapters would not
have the same rights and as such wanted to be able to identify them by
those rights.
As long as it is actually the same, I have no further comments or questions.

Florence and Gerard,
Could you perhaps not insist on using the non-existent term "sub-chapters"?
If we're going to rehash the ages old discussion on US chapters and "what
does a chapter do" and "Why does the US need this" and other such dead
horses, it'd be nice if we all used the proper terminology. Thanks.

It is a chapter.

So... the resolution stating that "The Board of Trustees officially
recognizes Wikimedia NYC as a Sub-National Chapter " should
actually be read as "The Board of Trustees officially recognizes
Wikimedia NYC as a Chapter "
?
Jeeee....
I fail to see the distinction. A sub-national chapter and a national
chapter are both still full chapters; as opposed to something which
would be considered a sub-chapter--which would be completely
different. I don't see how the Board has to rephrase anything.
