The Co-op are saying they can't open the bank
account until we're approved
as an official chapter of WMF.
Damn. We've been trying to make it clear from the start that we're
independent, they shouldn't be requiring this...
However, this may be a good thing - if you let the WMF board know that
we need to approval before we can get anywhere they might be willing
to do it sooner (either call a short IRC board meeting, or do it as a
written resolution [I believe those exist in the foundation's
bylaws]). Since it's just a formality, they might be able to do it
within a week if given the right incentive (which this could well be).
