How about we just close this thread. We do not need to rehash the debate, it is a dead
horse.

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.

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.
