That's it, indeed. The membership is absolutely open for all approved chapters, the application process for the WCA is very easy: Send a message from the chapter board that a) "we want to join", b) "we know that the Charter is the organizational basis" and c) "This is our appointed Council Member". After Washington, I have written to the mailinglists and also individually to all chapters which didn't join already. Many did not even answer. So, allegations that the WCA is "exclusive" have no ground. Kind regards Ziko ----------------------------------------------------------- Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland dr.
