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

2008/12/17 Mickey Conn mickey.c...@gmail.com: Hi - Although I've not recently posted to this list about the minutes of each board meeting, I have continued to add them online each week, around a day after the meeting. The latest minutes are now available at [ http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK_v2.0/Board_meetings/2008-12-16 ]. The next board meeting will be in two weeks time, on Tuesday 30th December. With regards to wikipedia loves art your best bet is probably to combine it with the London meet up even if that results in people mostly running around the VA in the morning only. -- geni ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
