Hoi, When I look at the list of people that make up the initial committee, I am happy to see people from all over the world and I am particularly pleased to see someone from India. If these are the early signs of an Indian national or state chapter it would be truly sweet.
The point of the committees is that things do get done, so it is important that people are willing to give it the room to do good. Given that many people have reservations about the idea of committees, I hope this first committee will set an example by having a "right" mix of decisiveness and reflection.
Thanks, GerardM

Dear all,
As of 4th February 2006, the board has approved the initial members of the Chapters Committee. All details can be found here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters committee.
The chapters committee's primary function is to assist in the creation of Wikimedia Chapters throughout the world (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters) as well as assist the existing Chapters in their day to day relationship with the Wikimedia Foundation. Those goals and duties will be refined with time.
Please feel free to ask any questions or give advice on the meta talk page and add to our todo list.
