Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Election of Directors - Candidate statements and ballot paper

James et al., Thanks for sorting all of this out. What's the best way for people to ask questions of the candidates? Should it be done privately, or should we have a page for this as we did for the last elections? This is something that was overlooked in the writing of the election rules...

The best way is to turn up to the AGM! :) Seriously, I am willing to act as an intermediary for questions, or for a page to be set up on the wiki. I'm about to go to sleep now, though, sp I'll get back to you mid-afternoon. As ever, flaws in regulations generally only occur in beta testing... Ch

I've been bold and set up a page on the wiki for this at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetings/2009_AGM/Candidate_questions Last time - from what I remember please correct me if I'm wrong - we said that candidates could choose to answer questions or not - I suggest we have the same. There were som

[Wikimediauk-l] Media contacts

One of the key things that the chapter does/will do is to do with media contacts. I've started a section and a page on the wiki - http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#Media_relations - to record what we do - please could you edit away! cheers ___ Wiki

We should bear in mind, however, that not all the voters will be at the AGM so they may want more information before they cast their vote. May be worth filtering the questions before they're answered so that there's no repetition. I thought last year's one worked fairly well. - Original Me

Hi all, I'm trying to find out who owns the UK Wikipedia domains. As best I can tell, wikipedia.org.uk is owned by "Chris Brooking", registered via http://www.webconexion.net . Does anyone know who Chris Brooking is and how I can get in contact with him? Thanks, Mike __
