(emailing thru Gmane since I only track this thru RSS so my apologies if it comes out funky; I dislike the enormous email volume these lists generate) I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned that Part I, question 6 of the Form 990 which asks for total volunteers. For year 2011, 85,000 was the number year 2010 has 100,000. See http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/990results.aspx?990_type=&fn=wikimedia&st=&zp=&ei=&fy=&action=Find In addition, it is typical for directors and officers liability policies to ask for an estimate of the number of volunteers (no idea if WMF's insurer does, but when I last shopped for nonprofit D&O it was a pretty standard question). While I doubt the IRS cares much about the accuracy of this particular number, the D&O insurer can use a bad estimate as an excuse to void coverage due to material misrepresentation when a claim is filed. > > ______________________________________________ > > Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines > > Wikimedia-l <at> lists.wikimedia.org > > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request <at> lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> > _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
