I think we're not in a hurry here. Due to the fact that (afaik) only two chapters have written logo/trademark agreements yet and there is no standard agreement in place, you shouldn't be too afraid of using the name and the logo for your own purposes. The board approval of the bylaws implies (at least morally) the right to act under the name "Wikimedia CH" and use the logo, according to the visual identity guidelines [1].
