[Foundation-l] Report on board meeting

Fri Mar 7 14:25:29 UTC 2008

Congrats to WM Australia, but this brings up a question. Why did we  
induct a new chapter, when it is not incorporated and has no  
leadership or formal structure, yet we can't seem to get a US chapter,  
or even state chapters, established?
