Oliver, I am still calling on folks interested to join the User Group model so that we can re-establish a membership based on interests and commitment. Am assuming we will have to get new commitment from folks. So far we have : Dennis, Oliver, Steve and **I.** when we get to 6, we can have our 1st meeting. Yes?****
Thanks for all the wishes Asaf, SJ and Tom****

Yes. You might even try working with them to organize a shared regional event, if their bid for Wikimania itself doesn't work out. They clearly have a lot of energy for bringing people and speakers together around Wikimedia topics.
Like I said in my more formal letter, you must not look upon the
expiration
of the provisional recognition as a blow or as a failure -- it was
merely a
deadline expiring, for a formal process that doesn't actually matter as
much
as it used to, because we now have these new affiliation models, which
would
have been more suitable in the first place, had they existed at the
time.
Yes. And once you have some projects underway, if they start to grow, you may always reapply to become a Chapter.
