For Chapters, I suggest you check who among your
active volunteers are
most active on Commons[2] and ask them to help engage or create
discussion about policy and guideline changes. If you cannot find
anyone close to your chapter that is active and engaged on Commons,
perhaps you should change that situation before firing off official
letters.
As for WMIT, we're considering to write one letter too and of course
we'll give maximum priority to the opinion and advice of our members who
are active on Commons and Wikisource. I've not reviewed the exact
wording of each letter to ensure they don't attack/offend Commons: they
certainly should not, the hard-working and backlog-overwhelmed Commons
users are jewels; but I think on-wiki essays, including open letters,
are an entirely legitimate method for any person or group to freely
express their opinion on any Wikimedia topic. Especially on Meta-Wiki,
freedom of opinion and expression from all wikimedians is highly valued.
