Before registering, setting up accounts etc, I question what value we 
gain by setting up such official structures.

Registering, collecting minutes, running a bank account all suck a large 
amount of volunteer time, with no net gain.

I see our primary goals being the promotion of OSGeo values in a local 
context - like the meetups you mentioned. This can be achieved without a 
bank account.
