Chris Keating informed me by email the day after my resignation that I would be replaced on the WCA, though there is no requirement for representatives to be a trustee (perhaps other members might be interested in helping the Chapter by taking on this interesting inter-chapter role, I would be happy to talk it through as a past Chair of the WCA and past Chair of the UK Chapter?). Similiarly, I appear to no longer be needed on the recently formed Audit and Risk Committee, though I have yet to be contacted as a courtesy, and when we established that committee the intention was to have non-trustees taking part as observers; it is currently formed of 3 trustees. I have noticed today that I appear to no longer be wanted on the GLAM toolset Steering Group, which seems a bit odd considering my role in establishing it, negotiating the original funding strategy and the membership of the Steering Group should be agreed by the Steering Group members. I have left a note for Jonathan Cardy, so hopefully I may be contacted as a courtesy before I am replaced. > - If he wouldn't mind, would Fæ please share why he chose to resign at > this time?

As it happens Mike, Chris and myself had a serious discussion in Milan about the importance of us three remaining "long-term" trustees staying in place to help the formation of the new board. I am on holiday right now, but when I return I'll consider an open letter to the charity which may help the remaining trustees, and my fellow members and non-members on this list, better understand my point of view. For anyone interested in the meantime, I suggest you take a look at the board meeting minutes over the past 18 months along with the discussions I have raised openly on the Water cooler. The serious issues I have raised with regard to our sadly reducing openness, a lack of credible performance measures, and more particular problems relating to the performance of our Chief Executive, are no secret. I plan to continue to support Wikimedia as a highly active volunteer, and will continue my interest in transparent, open and effective governance of the organizations that are formed to deliver our shared vision. Hopefully this may continue to include projects within the Wikimedia UK umbrella. PS Special thanks to those that have emailed and messaged me with notes of concern.

Hello Deryck, Hope life good with you - are you in HK organising WIkimania yet? In response to your two questions. 1. Chris Keating will be our Chapter's rep now. 2. I can't answer for Fae. Jon.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Ashley Van Haeften (Fae) resigns from Wikimedia UK Board
I've got two questions: - Will Fæ continue to serve as WMUK's Chapters Association delegate? - If he wouldn't mind, would Fæ please share why he chose to resign at this time? The AGM was only a month ago and if he resigned back then his replacement could be elected.
