Acabo de perguntar ao ChapCom se é necessária a tradução
juramentada do Estatuto para apreciação deles. Também pedi a ajuda
de um mentor, o que é usual neste processo de criação de capítulos e
parece-me que ainda não foi apontado um para a gente. É para tirar
eventuais dúvidas naquelas perguntas que ainda não foram respondidas
e na reformulação da página no Meta (já temos que começar a pensar
isso).
Tentei mandar com cópia, mas não é possível, então estou
encaminhando. Assim que tiver retorno eu posto aqui.
Dear ChapCom members,
Moving forward, we would like to submit an English version of our
bylaws for your approval, as recommended in the Step 5 of the
Chapter Creation Guide[1], which also says that
"The Chapters
committee might ask for a lawyer approved translation of the
bylaws, in which case it will provide the necessary budget to
translate the bylaws."
In Brazil, a lawyer approved translation would cost around USD 500
for this lenght (~17k words). We would like to know if we should
hire this service or provide the translation by ourselves. In the
first case, how should we apply for the necessary budget?
We also have some other informations to provide, and it would be
great to have a mentor in this process, as sometimes it can be
helpful to know how much are you aware of our context (and how
much is necessary to describe) in some particular issues.
Thanks in advance,
Castelo Branco

Hello people from ChapCom,
As you surely know, in the past, the Brazilian community
started a process for establishing a local organization to
promote the WMF projects within the country. Early in
September 2008, we submitted to the ChapCom a proposal for
creating the chapter Wikimedia Brasil, which was approved.
Nevertheless, in the same year, the volunteers have chosen
not to establish a formal chapter in that time. The reasons
were pointed out in the Chapter Report 2008, but this
discussion never ended.
In 2011, the whole Brazilian community has finally reached an
agreement, in order to create a minimum legal structure to
support and expand our activities across the country. Those
activities will keep being freely created and driven by
volunteers, but with legal, institutional and financial
support by WMBR Board. With such model in mind, we have
re-written our bylaws, which is now being reviewed by
lawyers. The next step will be submitting it to the ChapCom
and asking for the new recognizement as a chapter. All our
steps are being widely announced, either in our mailing-list
as in social networks and also discussed in our wiki and in
many IRC-meetings.
Therefore, we would like to re-start this process.
