As a temporary resident of Chicago, I would like to think I have a vague understanding of corruption. Why on earth would it even be worthwhile to corruptly influence an independent volunteer boot-strap operation like a Wikimedia chapter?
I mean, what the hell are you even talking about?
No one needs to mention names or specific acts, but I'm having a hard time conceiving what chapter corruption would even look like. Picking certain popular members to go to events? Milos seems to have something more sinister in mind; an infiltration by wicked corporations.
Fortunately, it is not about wicked corporations, at least it is not in the narrow sense. We haven't come into that position. But, I can expect that it could be a problem in the future if we won't handle present issues properly. It is about more simple kinds of problems, which you think that they are less likely.
