Thank you for the clarification. I believe this is fair to read as official confirmation from the CEO that Wikimedia UK has run no checks on these event partners before publicly promoting the partnership, apart from looking at the self-created out of date websites. > It is up to you what you wish to spend your time on. Thank you for confirming my independence, that is kind of you to say. Should Wikimedia UK now be choose to put effort into running background checks on these organizations, I would appreciate it if they were publicly shared. I would rather not use my limited unpaid volunteer time to duplicate the work of paid employees.
