=> this should be seen as guidance: chapters are different all over the world => we should talk about guidelines and minimal criteria => avoid 'succes criteria', see these as goals
 * start with basic survey (Matt-Seba - have results by the Summit)
 * automatic list of last activity per chapter to be created (Seba=>Kate)
 * follow-up specific mailing towards inactive chapters (Ofer)
 * Kate & Seba will be representing GCC @ Summit
 * Call for mentors (Seba)
 * Chapter success criteria / goals:
 * # meetings
 * # people in mailing list
 * # people attending meetings
 * # active board members
 * membership drive: # owasp supporters - membership - sponsors
 * # media attentation: how to measure? e.g. news.google.com
 * participating in other events
 * providing awareness at local schools & universities
 * I18N, translations...
 * involvement in projects and committees
 * in general the wiki should be used as placeholder for chapter activity - for reasons of openess, licensing and in general making it easy for people to find their local chapter. Exceptions are acceptable for I18N issues.
