Can we think of a "Local Chapter Sponsorship" opportunities, and also to 
let "Local Chapter Sponsors" what they can expect from OSGeo and what 
they cannot. Maybe this will give them some idea whether it is
beneficial "Local Chapter Sponsors" or "OSGeo Sponsor"

Maybe the missing local chapter domains china.osgeo.org, 
india.osgeo.org, japan.osgeo.org etc could also be made
more prominent. Lot of local promotion material already
include these domain names which do not lead to local
chapter pages.

I hope I am not being mistaken for wanting to promote
"Local Chapter Sponsors" as against "OSGeo Sponsorship".
To me any kind of sponsorship which serves the goals
and objectives of OSGeo is "OSGeo Sponsorship" be it local
or global.
