Hi guys,
Jochen Toph (of Germany) updated the wiki page on Local Chapters:

be feasible as the main source of funding of OSMF in the long run with
respect to the technical operating costs (legal, administrative, etc. costs

What would be the point of paying? It says a local chapter can use the
logo and osm domain and promote osm. Isnt counter-productive to charge
an organization which wants to help improve OSM locally by its own
resources/costs? A per member fee is rather high, maybe a low chapter
fee would be

I'm willing to be an incorporator. And since the minimum capital for a
non-profit is 5k pesos (I think), I'm willing to donate 1k pesos. However,
the minimum required to open a bank account is 20-25k (depending on the
