I don't believe the OSMF has ever said, or even remotely indicated, anything along such lines (and any implementation of such a policy is likely to run in to strong resistance by contributors all over OSM), a better way to is to think of local chapters as service and support organisations for the national mapping community which fits in nicely with the rest of your points which are completely OK. While I'm commenting on this thread: I suspect that any hopes of directly increasing contributor numbers by having a formal org are going to be disappointed (similar ideas have been aired by the UK chapter). It would be nice if I was proved wrong, but I don't believe that active recruitment really works (fsov of works).
