* The people in the WMF and the Affiliates are /part of/ of the communities. * Even the people without extensive years of volunteering, or those who only started volunteering at the same time as they became professionally involved, are part of the communities. * It is illogical for us to tell the people who take on highly-active roles, that they are no longer able to lead. * We (collectively) try to encourage the extremely capable volunteers to apply for jobs, and for grants. * If Wikimedia Cascadia becomes a well-funded chapter, and you were a staffer of it, would you become ineligible to lead proposals that effect your area of activity?
