Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Minutes of the Wiki UK Ltd board meeting, 16/12/08
On Dec 18, 8:39 am, Kwan Ting Chan k...@ktchan.info wrote: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK_v2.0/Board_meetings/2008- There's nothing on there at the moment other than the standard items and matter arising from the last meeting. Thanks for that. With regard the Election Rules, I suggest these are formally adopted either at this meeting or at the following one. The current version (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php? title=Wikimedia_UK_v2.0/Election_Rulesoldid=1317410) seem to have broad support. In essense they say: * 7 Board members * elected under the Approval Voting method * only those who get 50% are elected * elections run by one or more Teller(s) who are appointed by the Board and can't be candidates themselves * voting can be either electronically to the Teller or in person by a paper ballot at the AGM * timescales set out for inviting candidates, nominations and election The only remaining uncertain area is on the question - what do we do when the electorate is opposed to most or all of the candidates. In discussions on meta I've proposed three options: (a) Elect the top 7 anyway (you could say like UK elections!) (b) Only elect those that get more than 50%, except for the top candidate who would be elected regardless and if he was the only candidate elected their sole task post-election would be to organise a new election (c) Only elect those that get more than 50%, except for the top 3/5 candidates who would be elected regardless; post-election they would have all the powers of any other Board. Other than this is it ready to go to the Board for approval? ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Location of AGM
Informed by the discussion we've had here, I'm going to propose that the next Board meeting on tuesday decide the location of the AGM so that we can start organising it. There seems to be a broad consensus that the location should be easily accessible by transport and should rotate around several places. Therefore I suggest: - Oxford is chosen at the location for the Spring 2010 AGM in the run up to Wikimania - Given that London was the location for the Wikimedia v1 formation meeting, we go elsewhere for now - AGM 2009 is held in Birmingham, or, if we can't find a suitable venue, Manchester How does that sound? ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l

- Oxford is chosen at the location for the Spring 2010 AGM in the run up to Wikimania That's only useful if we win the bid! ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
