Questions raised during the workshop:

• Need for a one page Handbook digest

• 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:
