This is confusing. Wikimedia Sverige (the Swedish chapter) was
required to have its structures in place (October 2007) before
being accepted as a chapter (December 2007). Has that policy now
turned completely upside down?
One problem was that we couldn't use the name "Wikimedia" before
we were approved, so we started out under a slightly different
name, and then changed our name to Wikimedia Sverige once we got
approved as a chapter. All this was done while communicating with
the chapters committee, with our proposed bylaws being reviewed,
so that we could adopt the bylaws and know we would succeed.
