For what its worth, I would prefer that WMUK matters are included to this list rather than have a separate mailing list. In my view the amount of UK specific Wikimedia Email has not yet got to the point where we need to subdivide the list. I'm sure the tellers will only allow members of the charity to vote at the AGM, and it is at that point that we really need to differentiate between UK Wikimedians who are or are not members of WMUK.
