McTim,

I get ur point about Nairobi Chapter - particularly because most membership is likely to be based around Nairobi. HOWEVER, I would advise we go for the KENYA chapter despite this fact.

Reasons?
1.  A Nairobi Chapter would from the word go be exclusive (denying potential Non-Nairobi members an opportunity to join given that other chapters MSA, KSM etc are less likely to go live any time soon)

2. Usually start with a Country Chapter and after years of growth and demonstrated value, then other chapters can be encouraged to "break-away"...

walu.

Good point McTim, we need consensus on what we should as a chapter, on
the model what if we have a country chapter and then various city
offshoots, Grace can you advice from a legal perspective?
