Hoi,
What is the point of off list communication when you quote from these
communications ?
Thanks,

As already pointed out by several people (including me [1]), this is
blatantly false. Could you please stop spreading this deliberate
misinformation?
Your argument about "merely" accepting donations 'under the table' is
weak
and if anything issuing press releases impeaches the chapter further. As I
said to GerardM off-list, selling drugs for charity is still selling drugs.
Wikipedia's recent moves to both sell content commercially (even if simply
by turning a blind eye to the practice) and attempt to filter it with
flagged revisions (thus taking a big step from being a distributor towards
being a publisher) are going to require some amount of review of existing
practices.
In any case this is all off-topic for the thread,
Sam
