I would also welcome any comments on how the chapters committee role
is perceived and what people think it should be, since I clearly see a
deficit in communication on our part concerning that role. Although
the committee has been functional in the past few months in helping
new chapters get on board the Wikimedia boat, I believe that there is
much to be done to make its intervention a streamlined process.

Ingenuous questions are welcome, and as Peter says, anyone interested
in joining us should let themselves be known as we renew/expand our
membership.

Best,

Delphine
