I'd like to acknowledge the fact that local associations are apparently unable to create a separate mailing list for discussing the nomination of chapter representatives. It did not appear to me to be a huge unaccessible task, but unfortunately, that's a fact. Not the right infrastructure I guess. I even envisionned to create a Google list, that the idea really turned me off :-)
For what it's worth: a simple e-mail to info@wikimedia.de or me personally would have sufficed. We use a very good hosting company that allows us to create mailing lists without much effort. Setting up a wiki would have been easy too. I'm glad though that now we seem to have found someone who will take care of setting this stuff up.
For the record, same here ;-) Manuel, our webmaster, already provides hosting for the Austrian and the Israeli chapter and a polite request to manuel.schneider at wikimedia.ch is unlikely to meet disapproval...
Anyway, http://lists.wikimedia.ch/listinfo/chapters (chapters at wikimedia dot ch) is up and running now and a wiki is being installed at chapters.wikimedia.ch though will only be functional by tomorrow.
I'll send out a mail to all chapters secretaries (assuming that I can figure their mail addresses out) tomorrow, to implement Florence's proposals (one bureaucrat/listadmin per chapter, to add all the other board members)
