Well, I think you can safely assume that the existing members of the company are not currently paying chapter fees (though I'm sure some of them have used their personal funds for WMUK related work).

The chapter membership for company membership requirement is certainly not a legal one, and in the circumstances waving it seems as essential as it is trivial.

Alison Wheeler stated:

Generally it was felt to be in the best
interests of the organisation as a whole that anyone active on the Company
side (including being a member) should also be a supporting (Chapter)
member although it cannot be a 'compulsory' issue.

So is this being wavered in that for now, in that membership of the company
for the time being will not include membership of the chapter, until the time comes
where we have a bank account? or is it that payment is being help off till a bank
account is available?

There are, as I understand, no money issues with membership of the company. (They only need to get money out of us if the company goes bankrupt.)

How are the money issues going to be handled?
