The board would have to consult the Wikimedia Foundation and the English Wikipedia community on this and would be ill-advised (particularly in light of recent events) to go ahead with this decision without their support. In particular, jimbo's recent signpost article [1] seems fairly opposed to this direction of travel. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-10-01/Paid_editing If you're serious about taking this forward, I think you need to flesh out the proposals and see how they fit in with en-wp policies and statements of Foundation board members before it can be submitted to the WMUK board. Why don't you set up a wiki page to gather ideas? Regards,
