So it's not really a question of having someone on their Board. And it's not a question of a person who must be from the WMF. A person helping from another chapter would do just as well, and that would not raise apprehensions about being under a head office thumb. The helper would not need to be mentioned in any by-laws. His task would be to help the chapter for a predetermined amount of with whatever tasks were agreed to between the two chapters. The donor chapter could even continue to pay his salary. if he were an employee.
