Hi Gordo
I'm not sure it's right to say the panel takes over what was formerly a staff
decision making process. The intention of the panel (which reports to the
board) is to advise on how WMUK can best engage volunteers. That might include
looking at questions around volunteer support,

One of the problems we have with membership is that there's little we can
offer as benefit. That's OK in many ways, because I guess many members pay
their five quid as a way of supporting WMUK, in the same way as they do
other charirties, rather than for what it gives them in return.
It would make sense to require charity membership of those serving on
the formal board committees (Audit Risk, and Governance), but
certainly not what we have called the 'working groups'. Membership has
never been needed to help out on the current tech committee, for
