All,

I thought I should drop you a line about Wikimedia UK's new treasurer, Greyham Dawes. I've sat down and had a meeting with him today, and he's really instilled me with confidence. You can read more about him on the blog post at http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/02/greyham-dawes-joins-the-wikimedia-uk-board/. He's not signed up to any lists yet, but I'm sure he'll be helpful when he does - he is a chartered accountant, and indeed has written several books on UK charity accounting. He's also a treasurer at several other organisations in the UK, and used to be head of accountancy policy at the Charity Commission.

All the best,

Richard Symonds
