The main discussion this week seemed to centre around what a Local
Chapter is, how it relates to OSM-F, how the OSM-F board sees local
chapters and so on.

It seems to me that the big issue surrounding LC's themselves being
members of OSM-F, or the members of LC's being members of OSM-F is
based on the idea that this could prevent a LC from becoming a more
important organisation than the foundation itself, but I feel this is
ill founded since if everyone was members of OSM-F the votes for the
OSM-F board could be gamed by large LC's in any case.
The problem with requiring LC's or their members to become members of
OSM-F is it unnecessarily complicates things for little or no benefit.
Henk will be doing a wiki page shortly on the pros and cons of various options.
