You had a good point until I got to the end of your message -- did you actually read the resolution? "The Board of Trustees grants Wikimedia Brasil interim permission to use the Wikimedia trademarks pending signature of the Chapters Agreement." WMBR is a chapter, it may not be an government-approved organization yet, but once you are approved by the Board and a resolution is passed you become a chapter. [Re "interim permission", there is no legal entity, but there is still the group that is given the permission.] -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.
