Re: [Talk-GB] UK Chapter next concall
Thanks Brian, On corporate members recent experience with SotM shows that this gives you an up to date list of contact details of potential sponsors. This is great if we want to do fund-raising beyond what our membership fee covers (which I think we should). Voting should be extended to them too - although I imagine most won't vote. Can corporations be founding members? I have updated the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Group *Rob* p.s. Your accounting query in the membership email can be added to Mary's list of questions. You'll recall that Mary is our liaison with OSMF accountant. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
[Talk-GB] UK Chapter next concall
Hi everyone Let's go for Thurday 17March at 8pm. Same details as before- I'll post a reminder of phone number and entry code the day before Agenda: 1.Articles of Association- this should take the bulk of the meeting- Jerry and I will have a draft ready for you a couple of days beforehand. Most of the content fulfils legal requirements and is non-contentious- we'll concentrate on fewer sections where we can hone it to our requirements 2.Membership - discuss the email contents circulated previously 2.1Initial membership list and directors names for legal incorporation 3.Objectives - agree the draft already circulated 4.Name - agree OpenStreetMap UK? unless anyone is stongly opposed 5. Finger in the air deadline for legal incorporation- end of June? If we can all discuss online beforehand then we might arrive at a consensus and achieve more at the concall Regards brian ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Could I float the idea of individuals & corporates being distinguished more in name. Members (individuals) & corporate supporters/partners. >From Newcastle, Gregory.
