A charity board of trustees (directors of the company) is group of

So if somebody forms a company (limited by guarantee) which moves to
charity status, then as a Director (Trustee) you know that you will
be a volunteer, effectively from the day of incorporation. Charity
Law allows fees to be paid to Directors (Trustees) in certain (rare)
circumstances only. Expenses such as travel are allowed, of course.
As I understand it Wiki Educational Resources has not yet been granted
charity status. IANAL, but if this is so I would have though that Company
Law rather than Charity Law would apply?
Dear all,
I think a quick update is in order. The Board of Wiki Educational
Resources met on the evening of 8th March to consider the issues
highlighted by Alison's tender of resignation. We expressed our
continued confidence in Alison's abilities to execute her post and
declined to accept her resignation. However, it was clear that the
Board as currently constituted has been unable to move forward with
the process of setting up the UK chapter due to inaction of the
Treasurer. In order to allow this situation to be resolved the Board
decided to remove the Treasurer from post and appoint a replacement.
Arkady Rose has been appointed as Treasurer (also known as Chief
Financial Officer), effective immediately.
Regards,
Andrew
