It'd be nicer if the real GM was the AGM, but having a tick-the-box
AGM and an EGM for the launch isn't really a problem.
Now to keep working on the charitable status problem ... *zzzzzz*

Charitable status is a difficult thing to work through. If its made so
difficult for say a church, synagogue or mosque, its much more difficult for
an organisation that appears to only have a cyber presence.
Chapter v supporter group? Is that not making even more complications in
tying up the loose ends of charitable status. Does it also allow chapterists
to make changes to the constitution (like often happens in synagogues and
mosques?) Whats to stop wiki-haters filling up the chapter with their
supports to force constitutional changes etc. As a limited company, the
board it protected from outside attack.
