Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Social enterprise

This is the overriding issue. It is what Roger is doing in Gibraltar - but the issue there more revolves around a) he being a board member and the resulting poor handling the COI (i.e. didn't resign once he had a commercial business in the same scope) and b) the way in which Gibraltapedia

Indeed it would. I hope I was clear in defending OTRS as the best way to resolve issues that we currently have, although it needs work! Tom On 3 October 2012 13:32, Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk wrote: On 3 October 2012 13:20, Andreas Kolbe jayen...@gmail.com wrote: This is the sort

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] An opportunity

That's a good positive way to look at this. Exploring alternative sources of funding is always a good idea; and with the yearly fundraiser being so successful it always risk taking a backseat... The Foundation have got the annual event fairly well nailed - this could be an interesting way to

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Joint statement with the Foundation

As a general point on this matter; I think it is overkill. There is nothing in all of this that I have seen which would indicate WMUK is not capable of handling donations in the UK. There have been ethical concerns with the board - but nothing that isn't public enough to make sure everything is

This is a one stop shop Tom, I'm going to respond to your points but I do have other things to do so don't bother bouncing more points We all have other things to do. I am trying to shine some light on an obscured situation as it concerns me. The ethics of what we do is important. I don't

Clearly what is needed, with some urgency is: * A clear statement from Roger as to what renumeration he is receiving, and what agreements he has in place with the Gibraltar tourist board etc. This will go to clearing up the confusion. * A clear statement about WMUK's intended involvement with
