Hello, This is actually a good question for http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Chapters_Association/Research/Survey_1 How do chapter boards make use of the board mailing list, and how about the general mailing list of the association. Actually, the mailing list of WMNL, Wikimedianl-l, doesn't show very much activity. Everyone can join and post. But I can imagine scenarios in which a chapter decides to change that. Kind regards Ziko
