Hi Manuel,
We have already submitted the bylaws to ChapCom and are awaiting their approval. I greatly appreciate ChapCom's advice, especially from Lodewijk and Delphine. Sometimes back in December, i asked Lodewijk about when we should expect to be approved. He told me that we should have a look at the draft bylaws and seal all the remaining loopholes and submit a final draft and hopefully ChapCom would give their approval probably 2weeks later.
At that time, we were all engaged in making preparations for Ting's arrival, the Wikipedia 10 Anniversary & the Wikipedia Schools Project so I really didn't prioritize reviewing the bylaws. Since we've relieved most of our burden now, I guess it's now time to review and make the final touches in the bylaws and we'll hopefully submit a final draft to ChapCom by 1st February.
I am aware of the Chapters meeting but I am under the assumption that it's only recognised chapters that are supposed to attend, right?
--Abbas.
