* Institutional support for the GLAM related activities in the US (until
the US Federation is fully functional, if ever)
I agree there is room for a global GLAM support for regions that don't have
local [chapter] organization. Why do you feel this is a special problem
for the US, compared to other archive-rich parts of the world - given the
two regional chapters and numerous present and past Wikipedians in
residence?
The problem is always the same, i.e. that the WMF acts as WM-USA while a
chapter is missing, rather than being truly global.
Random (unfair?) recent example: WLM-USA uses the allegedly global
"Wikimedia blog"
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/10/31/wiki-loves-monuments-us-top-ten-photos-announced/>
unlike all the other national editions.
But perhaps Lodewijk meant something else.
