Probably. But does that prevent the chapter from being called "Wikimedia DC".

On an international level already, it is left up to the chapters to
decide whether they restrict their membership to citizenship. As far
as I can remember, I believe all chapters have left the membership
open to anyone who wishes, regardless of their citizenship or place of
residence. I believe the State chapters can do the same.
