I think a formal "Association of Catalan Wikimedians", recognised by the WMF as an "affiliated organisation" and with something quite similar to the chapters agreement would work well. Calling it a chapter will cause problems, since it overlaps with other chapters, but it can be much the same thing just with a different name. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
