I'd suggest two people for starters: David Gerard, given his
experience with the press in the UK and Alison Wheeler, given her
experience as Chair of WM-UK v1.

 Members,

 As many of you may remember, I made a suggestion at the AGM to bring into 
 existence an advisory board/commitee of experts to support Wikimedia UK in 
 its growth. I feel that this is apllicable even with the larger baord. 
 Although the necessity for such a thing may not be right now, it is worth 
 discussing. Most organisations have such a board, especially those which are 
 volunteer driven. I wrote this on the train, so I don’t have any specific url 
 examples for you to see but they aren’t difficult to find.

 What thoughts or comments do you have on this? Method of appointing people? 
 Etc etc

 The floor is yours

*Look at self* Um, missing somebody? :P

More seriously, before talk begin on who should be on it, or how to 
appoint people to it, you really need to define or at least have an idea 
on what you want this group of people to do.

I agree. It is too soon to be mentioning names.
