[Foundation-l] Cary Bass as "Wikimedia US Affiliates Coordinator"

I propose that we promote Cary Bass to "Wikimedia US Affiliates Coordinator", as an adjunct position to "Volunteer Coordinator" of the WMF.

The WMF already handles the legal responsibilities of a US chapter (it administers the trademarks etc.). With a "Wikimedia US Affiliates Coordinator" we can also have an organizational capacity among the different affiliates (the on-the-ground groups) around the country.

I would be happy to report to Cary from New York, and hopefully Andrew could report to him from Pennsylvania, and Dan from DC etc.

Cary could also have the responsibility of collating votes from the different affiliates in US Wikimedians' say toward the chapter seats on the Board.

(I haven't contacted Cary about this yet, but I am hopeful he would be warm to the idea.)

Thanks, Pharos
