You can wait until the account is open before sending in your
application, they're just accepting them early from people that want
to get it out of the way. Unless you plan to stand for the board, you
can probably just turn up to the AGM and join on the door.

WMF is completely separate, I don't think accepting donations to them
in exchange for membership of the chapter is a good idea. At the
moment there is just one type of member and that's full membership of
the company ("guarantor membership" as the previous incarnation called
it). It's possible other forms of membership will be created in the
future, but the board decided to leave that decision for the AGM or
the next board.
