Hello Al-Scandar, thank you for such a prompt and extensive reply.
I suggested a (phone) call for a reason: it is, from my experience, one of the most effective ways to discuss almost any topic one can think of, and one that I have been using very often in the past (for instance while preparing for Wiki Loves Monuments 2012).
Webex in particular has the added value of allowing multiple simultanous connections, and it also has the feature of voice-recording the whole call. It is a long tradition of this Committee to document its meetings, so I am sure we won't be lacking any documentation or notes if we decide on having a phone call some time in the future.
Phone calls are also a much faster way of communication than wikis; as you probably know from your own experience, on-wiki discussions tend to take a long time, counted not even in weeks, but also in months.
It was my understanding that it was in Wikimedia Brasil's best interest to become an officially approved and recognised Wikimedia chapter as soon as possible, but I am of course happy to have the discussion on-wiki if that is your wish, though as I said, it might take many months to come to have it finished -- especially with regards to this Committee, which as you have also probably noticed, is not the fastest to respond (for whatever reasons), and has this unfortunate feature of changing its members every year.
If you'd like to set up a proper discussion page on Meta, please feel free to move my comment from your wiki over there; I would appreciate just being informed where the discussion is supposed to take place.
As for the OTRS e-mail, please take your time in answering our questions; for bookeeping purposes, I would appreciate it if you could post your answers on the Meta talk page to-be.
I also thank you for inviting me to a private chat over Jabber (I am unfortunately not using this IM anymore) and IRC; I am, however, not able to represent AffCom in any private chats, and don't think this would be of much use for AffCom's (and simultanously Wikimedia Brasil's) purposes.
However, if you'd like to receive some general information about AffCom or the recognition process of a Wikimedia chapter in general, please feel free to approach me on #wikimedia-chapters (I'm logged-in as "odder").
Thank you for your time,
