Hi all, Have you given a thought on the kind of legal structure that would be most suitable for the purpose of a Wikimedia Chapter in Kenya? For instance, a registered trust or a Society or a charity registered under the Companies statute. I think Abbas would follow up on this question, and it would be wonderful if everyone chipped in with their ideas. Thanks! Yours sincerely, Anirudh Bhati 00 91 9328712208 Skype: anirudhsbh

I've cc-ed Ali, a lawyer at Mohammed & Lethome Advocates to elaborate on the available legal structures and advise us on the best option.

Hi, Indeed, such a great plan requires operation under a legal structure possibly as a society. This link shows how to go about registering a society in Kenya http://www.attorney-general.go.ke/index.php?option=com_content&task=vie… . Yours Faithfully, Wangai Mwangi.

Thanks for the link, Wangai. (1) Can you also share such links for the registration of non-profit charity companies, NGOs and trusts? (2) Can you arrange the constitutions or the charters of similarly registered non-profit organizations as references for drafting the bylaws of WikimediaKE? I think Abbas privately mentioned that registration as a trust [under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act] is the easiest and the swiftest way to establish a non-profit organization, as the process under other statutes is cumbersome and bureaucratic.

Oh yeah, that's what Ali (the lawyer) told me. Unfortunately, he hasn't yet responded to our emails:-(
