  I'd also like to see comments from FDC members on that issue as well.
We FDC members have also had an internal discussion on these issues, and 
our comments were not far off what you express, we are also engaged 
community members with good relations to chapters.

Our conclusions were:
*Everyone has the right of their own opinion, this also goes for Sue and 
her experience and management competence should be recognized
*WMF is one entity of several in the movement, and should not be seen as 
"mother" entity to all other (Chapters) and risk of institutionalization 
goes for all entities
*Key is to balance the increasing bureaucratization of chapters with 
spontaneity of the voluntary movement. As long as the chapters keep the 
spirit alive, they are the core of our institutionalized activities. We 
need to support them (but also have ways of supporting other 
initiatives, as well as keeping the bureaucracy, often sold under the 
label of "professionalization", low).
