Two answers to this question: 1) WMNYC does prevent the creation of a separate WMUSA chapter. At the moment the rule-of-thumb is that chapters cannot overlap. However, it may be possible in the future if both groups agree to share space, but we haven't had an issue like that and I can't imagine the benefit of doing it that way. 2) It is possible that as participation grows, maybe WMNYC could grow to become WMUSA over time. Maybe there are several sub-national chapters that combine together to form a single national chapter, or maybe the one chapter grows slowly to encompass more area. These are just speculative possibilities, but it's worth noting that sub-national chapters have these kinds of options. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
