Hello People from ChapCom again :D
So, a month ago you made us some questions. We put those to discussion with our group and the answers can be find here: http://br.wikimedia.org/wiki/Perguntas_do_ChapCom
Our bylaws are almost ready, and will follow the questions in some weeks.
Thanks for you time,

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.
