Hi,
slightly off-topic, but for those who wonder what is "Kansai group",
I'd love to give some clues as its members, as follows:
meta page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WiKansai (mostly written in
Japanese but some English description)
own wiki:
http://kansai.wikimedia.jp
For information of [[Kansai]] region may be found on your favorite
Wikipedia. Having over 3.5 millions' population, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe
are situated - rich of both historical and modern elements including
active FLOSS vibes.
We at Wikimedians in Kansai are no legal body and currently consist in
only five people, so don't fall into the category of aspirant chapters
- a legal body with over 25 supporter. It might be no big deal to
gather such other 20 people, but we decided to take actions before
satisfying formal requirements. At least at this moment it goes quite
smoothly.
I agree with Milos on that would be a way for Kosovan people. Again,
I'd repeat at least it works well for us very much and we would not be
the last people in such a situation.
Cheers,

So your proposal is basically to make the Kosovan
group a recognised
non-chapter group (like we're talking about doing with the Kansai
group) and then "upgrade" them to chapter status at a later date
if/when it is less contentious to do so? That could work.
If that means full integration [without just official chapter status],
then yes. I would give to the both groups right to vote for chapters
elected Board seats, too. This is especially true for the Kansai
group, which would have more members than some chapters; while
FLOSSK's free knowledge group has members as any smaller chapter has.
