G'day folks,
...first time poster to the foundation list, I think - so be gentle! (and nice to 'meet' you all!)
I noticed that the terms of a majority of the good folk on the Chapters Committee have expired, and also understand that they're currently working on extending these / confirming the lineup etc. - I just thought I'd state formally on this list that this is an area I'm interested in helping out in, and I think there's a good, clear, need for such a committee in this area... I like to bang the drum of good communications wherever possible, and feel that it's a rather important time for this committee, so I'd like to try and help them getting up to date, and their message/s out there!
I've copied the committee's list because it's clearly relavent, but would also like to ask other list members here about their appraisal of the committee - and how folk see its role evolving....
I would also welcome any comments on how the chapters committee role is perceived and what people think it should be, since I clearly see a deficit in communication on our part concerning that role. Although the committee has been functional in the past few months in helping new chapters get on board the Wikimedia boat, I believe that there is much to be done to make its intervention a streamlined process.
Ingenuous questions are welcome, and as Peter says, anyone interested in joining us should let themselves be known as we renew/expand our membership.
Best,
Delphine
