Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedia UK appoint fundraiser
Hello Everyone! Thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to meeting and speaking with you all over the coming weeks/months as we work towards the 2012 fundraiser and a broader fundraising strategy - exciting stuff. I will be at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on the 30th, and will spend the next weeks wrapping up my current job and reading around - so any resources you think might be a 'must see' do feel free to email me directly on katherine.bav...@gmail.com or on here Thanks, Katherine ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

I guess this is all quite new. The charity is very young, and your experience will be a major asset, along with Jon Davies' charity experience (and others including the Board). http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2011/11/charity/ And the charity has a new name! How does that affect fund raising? I asked at the AGM why Wikimedia UK was chosen in favour of Wikimedia UK Ltd. Small point I guess but then I am pedant.

For those who weren't there, I think the answer to that was that as a charity we're exempt from the normal limited company requirement for the name to end with Limited - and since we would continue to use simply Wikimedia UK as the working name it was better to have the working name and the legal name identical. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

It was my understanding that any company (or Industrial and Provident Society) can choose to omit Ltd or Limited from their name. Either way, I did wonder about the choice. I think your explanation is fine! Gordo ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

The main point of this change was that it means that our working and legal name are exactly the same, hence saving much typespace, ink and confusion.
