Many charities have spaces allocated to other organisations they
consider appropriate.

It might be worth adding a little more detail on the WMF
representative on the WMUK board idea (which is a new one to me, and I
very much doubt it will actually be proposed, but since it is new I
doubt Sue has any information from us on how it would work). Explain
that all board members have to be ratified by a general meeting (at
the moment, annually). At best, we could have a separate vote on the
WMF rep (rather than having them stand in the main election), but they
would still need to get 50% support of members each year. (And
introducing that separate vote would need 67% support.)
It's much like the chapter-selected seats on the WMF board - they
still have to be ratified by the members of the WMF, it's just that
the members of the WMF are just the WMF board.
I assume that the Charities Commission and Companies House would be
happy with this proposal for a WMF board member? Does the "Wiki UK
Limited" constitution allow for a "body" to join the board as a
constituted body (rather than a "real person")?
