Yes, that was helpful, thanks Bill. So, as mentioned before, we should probably set a time to plan a conference call so we can start to make some decisions. Does anyone have access to a conference call service? I do not.
I would say a tentative agenda is: 1. decide where we plan to incorporate (I think we can request proposals to be listed on the wiki prior and establish a way to vote on it). 2. allocating legal assistance 3. est. a timeline for ratifying draft rules 4. closer look at OSMF local chapter agreement 5. finances-- begin discussing membership types/fees/accounting 6. board selection - begin discussing process for electing board members, and early nominations 7. and.... Also, if anyone has connections at wikimedia ( I have some I can try to work on), it would probably be helpful to have someone from there who has already gone through a similar process to be on our call or for one of us to report back to the group with their suggestions/advice.
