To that end, on the subject of outside observers and open letters: when writing such a letter, it's important to give context and err on the side of formality. I've never seen a professional letter begin with "Dear Sue" (no last name or contact information provided) and end with "Yours sincerely, Jon" (no last name or contact information provided). This isn't a huge deal, but it's perhaps indicative.

The smart move is to seek a re-evaluation with the next ED, without poisoning the well. I'm sure that the WMUK staff and leadership are aware that no affiliate is entitled to process payments for the annual WMF fundraising drive... It might be worthwhile to consider that communications that suggest a sense of entitlement might not sit well with the many chapters who never had an expectation of being able to process payments.
Yep. Though in addition to the issue of a perception of entitlement, I think there's also a larger issue of re-establishing trust between the two organizations. That's perhaps the central issue here.
