We shouldn't wait for or expect the WMF to do anything.  Unfortunately, 
the lack of experience that prevents chapter executives from providing 
proper financial reports or dealing with large windfalls of money is the 
same lack of experience that prevents them from believing in 
themselves.  When they feel they can't do things their knee-jerk 
response is to give up their power. The impetus needs to come from the 
bottom.

I believe that organizations grow in order to fill perceived vacuums.
