If we hit £5000 in the next year (which is highly likely whether we get wikimania or not) I highly doubt we are going to be able "hang on" till CIO's become available. I imagine we will simply have to go through the registered charity route despite the increased paperwork.

I think a CIO would be a type of registered charity. I'm not sure of the technicalities of the definitions. Regardless, CIO's aren't likely to be available for another year or so yet - they keep putting it back. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
