I think that making preparations for both
drafting a complaint to HMRC and preparing an application to CC should start now. Even if
the preparations are only minor. Delaying either by any real length of time could affect
Wikimania significantly.
I agree entirely. Complaint letter has already been drafted and will
hopefully go out tomorrow. I think the CC application should be ready
to be put in the post the day after we win Wikimania? Even better,
anyone know a benefactor willing to give us £4,700? Or a few to give
us £1,000 each? They can even earmark it to whatever they want, just
so we get the income to qualify!
You may have to wait a little after we win the bid in order to get
confirmed sponsorships - CC will almost certainly want written
confirmation (unconditionally, that is - what we have at the moment is
all conditional on us winning the bid). If the current board has time
to do it, starting work on the CC application now wouldn't hurt.
