Amen! We already have legal presence in the US (WMF!), the relevant part
is local organization -- get people to meet face to face and *do* things.
Agree as well.
A chapter ultimately, is simply a group of people who choose to gather
with a more legal structure to do things. Then, this official group gets
authorization to do certain things, such as use of trademarks. Whether
it covers a school, a city or a state seems fine.
The only limit really is that it should aim at simplicity, such as
following consistant local laws. If a chapter spread all over a
continent, then it can not follow local laws and lose part of the
interest of being local.
