I think a formal "Association of Catalan Wikimedians", recognised by
the WMF as an "affiliated organisation" and with something quite
similar to the chapters agreement would work well. Calling it a
chapter will cause problems, since it overlaps with other chapters,
but it can be much the same thing just with a different name.
