Gente, segue íntegra da resposta do ChapCom. Neste momento de revisão do
estatuto pelo ChapCom, a tradução /não precisa de ser juramentada/.
Então temos dois trabalhos: traduzir o estatuto e responder aquelas
perguntas. O Maurício já se ofereceu para ajudar na tradução, que vai
começar imediatamente lá na br.wiki.[1] Quem mais quiser ajudar, é só
chegar. Duas semanas parece razoável para vocês? Poderíamos então
estabelecer 30 de novembro como data limite para envio das respostas (em
inglês) e envio do estatuto (traduzido) para o ChapCom?

Hi Castelo,
Just to answer you quickly on the first question: we generally prefer
a volunteer made translation of the bylaws (because they tend to be
free and are of good enough quality to understand and review the
issues relevant to us), so that is what I would recommend to you.
Before we as the Chapters Committee would start reviewing the bylaws,
we would need to get some more information as you say: both some
general info[1] and the specifics related to your special situation.
Feel free to send the answers to me, to Lodewijk
<lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> who's been in initial contact with
Beria, or to the general address of the Committee
<chaptercommittee-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>. (Unfortunately, it may take
a bit of time to receive an answer especially if you have questions
that require an internal discussion among ourselves, so please don't
be discouraged if we are slow to respond - and feel free to send me a
personal reminder to speed things up.)
Best regards,
Bence

- I think Beria shared these questions with you, I am not sure I have
seen the answers to it yet

Dear ChapCom members,
Moving forward, we would like to submit an English version of our bylaws for
your approval, as recommended in the Step 5 of the Chapter Creation
Guide[1], which also says that "The Chapters committee might ask for a
lawyer approved translation of the bylaws, in which case it will provide the
necessary budget to translate the bylaws."
In Brazil, a lawyer approved translation would cost around USD 500 for this
lenght (~17k words). We would like to know if we should hire this service or
provide the translation by ourselves. In the first case, how should we apply
for the necessary budget?
We also have some other informations to provide, and it would be great to
have a mentor in this process, as sometimes it can be helpful to know how
much are you aware of our context (and how much is necessary to describe) in
some particular issues.
Thanks in advance,

Hello people from ChapCom,
As you surely know, in the past, the Brazilian community started a process
for establishing a local organization to promote the WMF projects within the
country. Early in September 2008, we submitted to the ChapCom a proposal for
creating the chapter Wikimedia Brasil, which was approved. Nevertheless, in
the same year, the volunteers have chosen not to establish a formal chapter
in that time. The reasons were pointed out in the Chapter Report 2008, but
this discussion never ended.
In 2011, the whole Brazilian community has finally reached an agreement, in
order to create a minimum legal structure to support and expand our
activities across the country. Those activities will keep being freely
created and driven by volunteers, but with legal, institutional and
financial support by WMBR Board. With such model in mind, we have re-written
our bylaws, which is now being reviewed by lawyers. The next step will be
submitting it to the ChapCom and asking for the new recognizement as a
chapter. All our steps are being widely announced, either in our
mailing-list as in social networks and also discussed in our wiki and in
many IRC-meetings.
Therefore, we would like to re-start this process.
