Maybe there’s an easy way to just test this? A chapter could start calling itself e.g. Wikipedia UK in its comms for a year and see if there’s any noticeable difference? Sent from my iPhone > On 14 Apr 2019, at 01:47, phoebe ayers wrote: > > On Sat, Apr 13, 2019 at 2:29 PM Rebecca O'Neill >

Hoi, Yes there is a noticeable difference. Costs for changing websites, stationary and the like are not budgeted for. Given that budgets do not account for such nonsense it is not an "easy" test. It is also not a test because when the test proves negative you double the cost. Thanks, GerardM
