It's just a matter of how long it takes. If the contract is the one that's online, then the WMF can't unilaterally revoke WM UK v1.0's chapter status for another 10 months or so (I can't see this being an issue, since I don't think anyone wants it to retain chapter status, but it is a theoretical stumbling block).
I see no barrier to cancelling the arrangement by mutual agreement. (Delphine?)
Precisely - it's only were it unilateral that there would be a problem, so, like I say, I can't see it being an issue. I believe any contract can be cancelled if all the parties agree (it would be a strange law if they couldn't). For the WMF to serve in the role of an overseer to make sure the new board doesn't go rouge (which was what we were discussing before we went off topic!), they need to be able to revoke it unilaterally.
