Basically it takes 5 active FTE users to formally ASK that a chapter be created.

The pre-requisites to have that chapter created are in a thread posted in the general chapter discussion forum.

Once the needed criteria is met, I will go ahead and create the chapter allow for Chapter Leader nomination discussion then,leader election.

After that it will be up to the chapter itself to stay active. This is the key !

Inactive chapter's will get closed.
Problems with them included lack of leadership,lack of direction,lack of activity.
