Is this the story? "Roger Bamkin, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK, is a paid PR consultant for Gibraltar and secured the agreement of Wikimedia UK to promote his client's interests." If so, wow. ---o0o--- His question was based on the draft minutes of the 8 September meeting here http://uk.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minutes_8Sep12&oldid=28591#2.15pm_Project_proposals which said, ---o0o--- Gibraltarpedia update / MOU - Roger (25 mins) Roger updated the board on Gibraltarpedia, and explained how he would like to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Wikimedia UK. This would not involve the transfer of any funds, but would mean that Wikimedia UK would offer in-kind support in the form of press coverage and various merchandise. *DECISION: It was agreed that the office can support Gibraltarpedia with in-kind contributions, but not funds* ---o0o--- I understand the minutes are still being edited, but surely, we can assume that the decision outlined there was indeed taken at the 8 September meeting. And if so, then I have to say it looks to me very much like Dan's summary was correct. If it isn't, what exactly about it is untrue? Andreas
