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-bo.... 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 Wikimedia UK 0207 065 0992

Very interesting, in short an external expert appointed treasurer, right? The authors of the Articles of Association have been wise, I see.

Great!
I was willing to publish a translation in French of the blog post http://blog-fr.seb35.lautre.net, but didn’t find copyright mentions on the WMUK blog. Is it under CC-BY-SA like the main website?
