Well, since the WCA don't plan to represent all the chapters, it would be good it changed the name to a more suitable representation of the truth (that would be something like "European Chapters Association" based on the people present in the last meetinghttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Chapters_Association/Meetings/2013-07) to avoid confusion.
The WCA plans to represent all the chapters. That's at least a desire. But in order to represent, I think we need a mandate. We cannot represent a chapter / an entity without its consent, right? For me, that's the main reason for having an opt-in model. In my opinion, though, opting in should be as easy as putting the name of a representative here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Chapters_Association/Membership.
