IANAL, but since it would be a very limited agreement ("In the event

organization X is given permission to .." - use the brand, user
account data, etc.) I don't see why not. It would be not fundamentally
different from a trademark use agreement.
If we want to reach an agreement like this with a chapter, we should
carefully consider the impact of different jurisdictions on the
projects, though. EU is a mess of jurisdictions, and the Germans seem
to be quite litigious, for example.
