An excellent document. Well done. When I started reading it I was going
to comment that incorporation should be mentioned in the first sentence
by:-
"Wikimedia Australia is a non-profit organisation, incorporated in
Victoria and recognised by the Wikimedia Foundation as an official
chapter, that .."
but then I found that incorporation is covered in detail near the end.
It still might be a good idea to mention it in the first sentence.
Cheers, Brian - a pedantic ex-Public Officer.
