I know what the resolution says, it doesn't mean it makes sense. There is no "Wikimedia Brasil", so the resolution is pretty meaningless. I think the board ought to wait until the actual contracts are signed before official recognising anything (the resolution could say something like "The board authorises the management to enter negotiations to officially recognise a Brazilian chapter.". The phrase "Wikimedia Brasil" shouldn't be used for anything official until there is a legal entity with permission to use that trademark. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
