Thank you, Simon!

In general I think the agreement is good, because it keeps everything quite
simple and - speaking for the Japanese local "chapter" - there shouldn't be
any issues.

Just let me comment a few points:

   - (4.5) OSM related domains for Japan and also SotM Asia have been
   registered already by OSMF Japan. I think it would be a headache to make a
   request to register domains to OSMF. Also some domains require a local
   postal address.

   - (7.1) and (8.1) This is easy for English-speaking countries, but quite
   unpopular and time-consuming task for others (like Japan), I guess. I think
   some standardized form to fill in a few statistics every year should be
   sufficient. I think the statistics, like memberships, activities, and if
   the the local chapter could raise funds for example, is what the OSMF would
   be interested in, right?

That's all ...
Daniel
