Having just visited there, I can say with some confidence that discussion of people refusing to cease using the trademarks is wildly off base. The people at WMF-Brasil are not bad guys. I just spent 3 days there. If there is a problem, I see no obstacles to working it out.
I'm sorry, I was not referring to Brazil at all (and I made the same observations re Thomas when I was discussing with him during the ChapCom process). This has become a more general discussion on "what happens if a chapter goes wild".
I would like to offer my apologies if it seemed like I was considering the situation in Brazil here, I by no means believe that we must consider what to do in Brazil!
