Hi Emmanuel, good results and I am happy that it has been really productive.
Only some small comments. There are some important activities already in progress and some important discussions still open, mainly in the fields of WCA and with neighbouring chapters. "International projects" may mean everything as it is the meaning of the word GLAM. It would be important to define the fields of the activity or to know what is already done and what is already in charge of another group at least to be respectful of the activities of the other parties in order to don't lose the progress already done. These activities may be identified mainly with: a) International relationships with neighbouring chapters (WM DE, WM IT, WM FR, WM AT) b) WCA The real problem is that these two tasks are done mainly in close mailing lists (internal or chapters or regional like Iberocoop). In the first point there are important activities with Latin chapters and some others with French chapters. For instance Wikimedia CH is asking formally to be part of Iberoconf and it is already in the French speaking Conference. When you had the meeting in Lausanne, I was in Mantua in the festival of the literature with WM IT. It means that these kind of activities are already done and the collaboration with some chapters is started some years ago and it is managed day by day. I agree that there are a lot of potential collaborations not exploited yet (I have been in contact with Silberwissen and they are open to have a collaboration with WM CH), but the collaboration with some other chapters like WM FR or WM IT is already a reality. Basically I would invite to separate the activities planned with neighbourings or to manage them differently because it would be better to involve who is already working in these fields in order to don't generate overlapping or conflicts. The WCA is another important point and it's more connected with the relation of WM CH with WMF. There is a complicated discussion started one year ago and it is mainly managed within the board because this discussion happens frequently in "closed" mailing lists, so it would be really difficult to follow and to participate to the WCA discussion without an access to the chapters wiki or to the chapters mailing list. Even if it would be important to involve more volunteers, this discussion is more and more "close", so a working group risks to don't have the tools to work on this task. I hope that it may be helpful.
