We are happy to announce that the board has decided to co-opt Thomas Dalton onto the board
of trustees to replace Paul Williams who recently resigned. I'm sure Tom needs no
introduction here: he currently serves as our Head of Fundraising and has been involved in
the setting up of Wikimedia UK "v2" from the start. Tom, like the rest of the
Board, will serve until the AGM in April when a new election will be held.
Regards,
Andrew Turvey
Secretary

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Board member vacancy
Hi all,
It is with regret that I announce that Paul Williams (Skenmy) is
leaving the WMUK Board for personal reasons.
This obviously leaves a vacancy on the board between now and the next
AGM, which we would like to fill if a suitable candidate can be
found. Who would be interested in joining the Board until the next
AGM (24 April)?
The legal duties and the eligibility criteria for being on the board
are described at:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees#Duties
You would be expected to attend the board meetings online, which
currently take place fortnightly by Skype. You would also participate
in the organization of the various initiatives that are currently
being planned, and the development of future initiatives, as well as
the forthcoming AGM. Whether the role of 'volunteers director' is
kept has not yet been decided; in general however there is a lot of
freedom to focus on what you're interested in, or help out with bits
of everything, rather than being tied to specific areas.
If you are interested, please email the board at
board(a)wikimedia.org.uk . A brief background of yourself would be
useful, as would a description of what you would like to achieve by
being on the Board. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to
ask me or any of the other current (or past) board members
Thanks,
Mike Peel
