Good point. Maybe all those who care about a chapter and its spending 
are already members of the chapter so that they can participate in the 
assembly which decide on it (and related online discussions)? :)

If we want greater community review of their spending, perhaps it would 
make sense to run campaigns for community members to join the chapter. 
Maybe other people have different experiences, but the associations I 
know of usually try to convince you to join the association ("it's cool 
for X! you are important for Y!") and then they try to gradually involve 
you more; I've never seen an association on a street distributing 
dozens-pages books "hey! do you want to review our budget? it's great 
fun! we value your input".
