Hoi, Please understand what a chapter could do, should do when you take the projects out of the equation for a moment. The WMF organisation, and the chapters are part of that, ENABLE the projects. Border lines are typically where jurisdictions start and end. If that does not make sense to you, we are talking about completely different things. Do however consider if there is a need for what I am talking about !!! Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, At some stage you get used to it. Some people call the "language
committee"
the "language sub-committee". This while the committee it should be a sub off does not even exist any more.
While I do think that the New York sub chapter will do great things and
will
even do better then some chapters, it does not represent a country. It
will
not negotiate national commercial deals ... or will it ? Thanks, GerardM
- Not a "sub chapter". Please don't use that term anymore because it
is incorrect and misleading. 2) What "national commercial deals"? 3) It does not represent a "country". It also doesn't represent a language or a religion or a skin color. These are not important to us. It does represent a group of active Wikimedians, and this IS important to us.
