I don't want to speak for the WMUK board, but in my experience it would be most unusual to provide a list of names of people whose employment had ceased, at least without the written consent of those who would be named. Cheers, Craig Franklin On 14/05/2015 5:06 PM, "Andy Mabbett" wrote: > On 12

As Rexx said: Give it a little more time to settle down, I reckon. Indeed. The pages are in flux at the moment. There is a heading to say so, and that's the typical nature of a wiki. As we move toward the volunteer strategy day on 25th July more details of activity plans will be available for

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Restructure and CEO appointment update

Hi Tom - yes of course the charity does wish to retain your services. I believe that Richard just removed the contractors from the staff page with a view to making it clearer who is an employee and who is not. No doubt you'll be added back on the new contractors page within a day or so. Best r

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Restructure and CEO appointment update

I echo your sentiments, Tom. Losing any of the staff who are departing is a blow. As for IT support, the 2014 Activity Plan says: "The development budget seeks to support the day to day system administration of the Chapter’s IT infrastructure, including the hosting of its community and internal w

FWIW I've had no communication about whether the charity wishes to retain my services as a contractor. So your guess is as good as mine :) Tom On 13 May 2015 22:58, "Michael Peel" wrote: > > > The staff page [2] will be updated to reflect the new staffing over the > next two weeks. > > [2] https

Your maths is wrong, Gordo. It appears that only 8 of the 9 posts have been filled internally (and I'm far from happy about that), so we're losing 6 out of 14 staff (43%). -- Rexx On 13 May 2015 at 11:59, Gordon Joly wrote: > On 12/05/15 13:31, Michael Maggs wrote: > > In order to ensure that

The new structure looks good, but it's missing details. Compare it with the current structure at: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Template:Staff_hierarchy In particular, what does 'Project Coordinator' mean in terms of the established types

The CEO will do it. From http://prospect-us.co.uk/jobs/details/hq00156774 you can see: *"The Chief Executive will also lead on our funding relationships, particularly with trusts and foundations, and develop propositions for donors as we look to diversify our income."* In the absence of any other
