guys, please! Lets not try to solve hypothetical problems here until we know what the problem will be! Let the folks see if they can get people together in the first place, what they want to do, and what in their opinion would be the best way to organize that.

I disagree. The work involved in getting together a group interested in forming and chapter and starting to make plans for how to go about creating one is significantly greater than the work invovled in hashing out the potential issues on foundation-l, so the latter should be done first. There is no point them wasting their time getting together a group of interested people if we're not going to accept them as a chapter.
