I think that this is an important point, as this could be the outcome for the German chapter (see http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/19/2056252
). We would not want to be sued for someting considered unsuitable for the UK, for example linking to a transcript of the Camillagate conversation from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camillagate
.

What are the implications of being a an official chapter? If it means
being suable in place of the WMF, we very expressly do not want to be
a chapter. If it does not, I don't see any harm. As to the names and
logos, I believe it has always been the intention that the
organisation incorporate as "Wiki Educational Resources" (well, that
as opposed to Wikimedia UK), and then to agree a licensing arrangement
with the Foundation proper after that for use of the name (i.e. to be
"trading as") and logos.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
