Ok, but is WMF an economic institution?
I was hoping to make a more general analogy.
How about: Nupedia (centralised) versus Wikipedia?
Are chapters branches of WMF?
The plan to move them to grants makes them effectively into such
branches, as does (from the reports in this thread) the language of
the new agreements.
Centralisation is bad, stupid, wrong and will cripple the
effectiveness of the movement. What we do can't possibly work that
way.
