I'm a member and if the board feels that currently they lack either someone
with either the capacity, desire or expertise to become chair they it is
ethically right they try to find someone interested and qualified.
Co-opted directors are not lesser, inferior, or less capable than elected
board
This does not require any amendment.
Thanks,
Seddon

I would like to commend the board for at least acknowledging that there has
been mistakes made. It may lack specifics but for me personally it is much
welcomed shift in tone which is a start. I do think that pre-empting the review
would be unwise but I do ask that the board publish the terms
My understanding is that there has been an ongoing delay in the transferring of
the intellectual property to Wikimedia UK, this was the situation nearly 3
months ago. As far as I am aware there is still a delay in this on roger's side.

Further more no one has drafted a motion at this time and don't think we should
delay the calling of this EGM
sensible to let it rest until the current EGM proposal is
determined.

Its the perception of openness. I will note that this list pre-dates the
existence of the chapter. Such a fundamental change in how the openess of list

Is there any possibility of having question answered?

Heya Guys,
At AGM2009 I mentioned to a few people about image
restorations that are done by a group of wikimedians. I have created a

to use when talking to GLAM's.

income of less than £5,000 a year, has decided to
stop referring to itself as a charity or an exempt charity, as it has
up until now, and start describing itself as a ‘not-for-profit’
instead. We arnt wikimedia.
