Hi Abbas,
thanks for this detailed and quick answer.
Of course I understand that the Anniversary - and your first public event! - was much more important than finishing the bylaws. I am happy to see that you have already a schedule to get that part done as well.
The chapters meeting is only for recognised chapters but there have been exceptions in edge-cases, and I think WMKE is such an edge-case. Furthermore, if you publish the finalized bylaws it is likely that you will be a recognised chapter until the end of March. I will try to get an answer from the organisers - though I have already asked last week without getting a response.
Keep up the spirit and good work!
