 * create an operational local chapter to use for tax/vat reasons
 * hire a lawyer to investigate
 * need for more clear rules / information on the wiki on handling money
 * need for bylaw governance umbrella / local template
 * what are examples - red cross/ wikimedia? - issa / isaca - examples
 * need for clear treasurer roles
 * what about local liability - what are conditions - to be put online
 * A big hassle to organize local events in some countries (e.g. Brazil, Slovakia)
 * The Samy Kampkar tour to be replicated!

Actions:
