But was it really a "payment" (a salary) or was it a reimbursement (to
cover your travel costs for example) ?
(This is just a disinterested note.)
I didn't submit an invoice ... they just said they'd pay me. I still
have no idea how much.
Now, as a board member, I am more curious of the
second part of your
comment. If I understand you well, you mean that apparently, the BBC
gave some money to the Foundation for the interview you gave them, and
that the Foundation paid you ?
No, no. This will be coming directly from the BBC to me.

This is not what you wrote before. You probably slipped ?
You wrote "heh. FWIW, this did not come via WMUK - it came via the
Foundation to me personally. I didn't expect reimbursement either and
certainly didn't ask for it ..."
What did you mean then ?
But if I start making money *because* I am a director
of a charity, I
don't know what happens next. I've been meaning to get a real
accountant for a while ...
Probably nothing I expect...
You can not be paid by the UK association, but I see no reason why it
would be illegal you receive money from other organisations.
What I do not really know is how one *declare* that money for income
taxes. I suppose nothing would happen for small amounts. But once
amounts are bigger, they should be declared. At least when the money is
collected in your country or perhaps for me in Europe.
Dunno...
