Just because something is being done by volunteers doesn't mean it
isn't being done by Wikimedia UK. We need to get away from the idea
that "Wikimedia UK" is synonymous with "The Board and Staff of
Wikimedia UK".
Of course I understand that, and I have always agree with that. I am
actually hurt with the suggestion, deliberate or otherwise, that I have
suddenly forgotten that because I have started working for Wikimedia UK!
In this case, the bid isn't being submitted by volunteers and members of
Wikimedia UK as part of Wikimedia UK. They are doing it as individuals
with the support of Wikimedia UK the organisation. Going with your
wording, just because something is being done by volunteers and or
members of Wikimedia UK doesn't mean it is being done by Wikimedia UK.
