Tricky issue here.
I have discussed it a bit on the polish irc channel.
I am not entirely sure what had been decided regarding passes on the
en.wikinews.
And there is the issue of the editor in chief, which might be tricky.

Subject: Polish Wikinews - Press passes for Polish Wikireporters and other
things

> Greetings,

> The Polish local chapter, Wikimedia Polska, would like to give out

> The Polish law doesn't explain how a press pass should look, and what

>
> - The Wikinews logo, along with the Wikinews name and preferably with
> a subtitle "Polska"
> - Information that this person is a reporter of Wikinews Polska
> - Contact info towards someone from Wikimedia Polska, who could give
> out accreditations and take phone calls from any institutions, if
> there would be any
>
> We plan to cover the costs of printing press passes and personal

>
> - Usage of the name and logo
> - Delegating a person from our Association who would work as an editor in
> chief
