This means people from the organisation need to actually ask them stuff. Typically, that's the bit that doesn't happen much. If when people ask for an "advisory board" they mean a group to police the board and organisation, that's a completely different beast and I'm not sure what the proper name for it is. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
