I think it is not appropriate that Wikimedia Brasil is listed (and described) as a non-profit organization if it is not yet incorporated: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Local_chapters.
I disagree, it's a list of approved chapters -- WMBR is approved and is therefore listed.
I guess the issue is that usually organisations need to "earn" the title of non-profit (by being accepted as such by the courts/authorities), so a non-incorporated group of people recognised as WM Brasil should not be branded as a non-profit until they are actually incorporated, as it is misleading.
