We hold an annual meeting between all chapters and WMF. Already, because of the number of chapters, it is recommanded that only one representant of all chapters come to the meeting. Needless to say, this limitation is going to largely damage the ability of this meeting to build anything.
May I ask some arguments to support this statement?
Are sub-chapters going to have one representant as well ?
Yes. As you've already been told, they're not sub-chapters, they're sub-national chapters.
If that's the case, I suspect that we will soon have to abandon this annual meeting altogether, and will have to replace it by "region" meetings.
Yes, and this was considered during last year's meeting postmortem.
