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.

For example, on meta, Wikimedia NYC is listed as chapters, not subchapters. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_York_City. And the name does not clarify the difference either (it could have been mandatory that names used be of the type Wikimedia + Country + blabla).
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.
