You may have to wait a little after we win the bid in order to get confirmed sponsorships - CC will almost certainly want written confirmation (unconditionally, that is - what we have at the moment is all conditional on us winning the bid). If the current board has time to do it, starting work on the CC application now wouldn't hurt. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

As will come clear when the notice is sent out (hopefully Friday) most of the meeting will be informal talks, discussions and presentations. The distinction between member and non-members will not be an issue here. This also applies to the hustings. The formal part where the distinction matetrs will probably only last about 30 minutes. Voting for the Board will probably be entirely in paper form. I imagine members who haven't already voted electronically will be given a paper ballot paper to fill in and they will be counted by hand. Voting for the resolutions will probably be a mixture of a show of hands plus the electronic votes. In this case, the chair needs to make sure he can distinguish between members and non-members. If the result is at all close, the tellers will have to organise a paper vote. Obviously we won't know till we get there, but I could see this happening with your resolution but all the others will probably be clear majorities. > I know some people think I am being overly formal and strict about > this kind of stuff, but the AGM of a limited company, particularly a > charitable one, is a serious event and needs to be handled properly. > This isn't just a bunch of people from the internet getting together > for a pint and a chat about what we're going to do, it's an official > meeting of the membership if a charitable company.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Jimbo at the AGM
I sent out a message telling everyone in the facebook group that the AGM was happening and inviting them to the facebook "event". Jimbo replied saying yes he was coming.

It's not my decision, but I would very much support the BBC giving a presentation at the AGM. There has been talk of trying to find someone to give a talk in order to break up the monotony of the official business we need to get through, and I think someone from the BBC could fill that role perfectly.

[Wikimediauk-l] BBC and Wikipedia - a thought
Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I've been responsible for some discussion at the BBC about a possible contribution to the Wikipedia project from the BBC - I think it's come up on the list too. There's no hard proposal or plan, just an ongoing discussion of the appropriate relationship of a national public service content creator and the leading free knowledge source on the net. There's been some discussion of a 'BBC Wikipedia Club' for wannabe contributors/editors who work at the BBC, about more formally gifting content to Wikipedia and - more ambitiously - about hiring a 'Social Media Editor' to manage the corporation's relationship with Wikipedia and other open media sources. Question: would it be appropriate for one or more BBC people with an interest in collaboration to come along to the AGM? If so, should we bring a formal contribution or just sit quietly at the back? If not, is there a more appropriate forum we could get involved with?

I agree it is something we need to work on ASAP, though - perhaps something for after the AGM, however, since I think the current board are rather busy! If we win the bid, there are all kinds of legal stuff we'll have to sort out - if everything will be done through us (rather than WMF), which I think is likely, we will need to open a trading subsidiary. I think the business risk of hosting Wikimania is too great for a charity to do it directly. (We'll worry about that after we win, though!) PS I am thinking of adding another £10k to the budget for admin, though - there will be lots of legal fees and accounting fees, at least some of which should be allocated to Wikimania (some can be considered general expenses and paid for out of the main WM UK accounts). Hopefully we can get it done pro-bono, but it should probably be on the budget. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
