[Wikimedia-Canada] June 1 update
by Jeffery Nichols 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hello, WMC team. The bylaws are getting close to being done, so if you are interested in the legal dimension of the organization, please go to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Proposed_by-laws and review them. Feel free to make any changes that you think will be relatively non-controversial (or are legally necessary), and please voice any other concerns or ideas on the talk page. In a few weeks we'll close the bylaws to editing and have a meeting to discuss the next steps. I know not all of you will be able to make it to the meeting due to summer travel, school, work, and family issues, but for the next meeting I'll have a clear agenda far enough in advance that you'll be able to email this list or myself to have your concerns and ideas brought to the meeting. -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)

[Wikimedia-Canada] Meeting date
by Jeffery Nichols 13 May '09

13 May '09

It looks like there may be some issues for people related to the long weekend, so I'm moving the meeting to the week after (week of the 18th). In addition to looking over the bylaws, we'll also have to talk about who's names will be on the proposal, so keep that in mind. This shouldn't be a big deal, we can keep doing things by consensus until the first general meeting, but the people on the list will have some extra responsibilities. -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)

[Wikimedia-Canada] 11th meeting
by Jeffery Nichols 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hello everyone, I would like to schedule a meeting around two weeks from now (the week of the 11th). After I put off the planned March meeting due to my hectic schedule, I have been finding excuses to procrastinate in finishing the bylaws, and for that I apologize. I think an official meeting day is just what I need to make sure I get them done. I plan to devote a day to them next week in which I can finish writing the remaining section and tidy up the ones that are already there. After that date I'd like everyone to take a look at them for a week so we can discuss them at the meeting. I will be on a plane Tuesday evening, but other than that I am free all that week. I have set up a meeting page at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Meetings/11th in which we can discuss the exact scheduling and the agenda. If anyone wants to volunteer for writing the minutes after the meeting like OhanaUnited generously did for the last meeting, make a note of it when you acknowledge your attendance on the site. If there is a day on which you cannot attend, mention that too. I hope to talk to you all then, -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)

[Wikimedia-Canada] Update - Early April
by Jeffery Nichols 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hey, WMCers. I thought I'd give you another update and avoid the risk of losing people due to radio silence. Even though I've fallen way behind schedule, I still really want to see this organization get off the ground, and I hope I'll still be able to count on your help when it's ready to go. Despite being behind schedule on the bylaws, I am still working on them when I get a chance. I've reworked a couple of sections on the site so far, and have a rough draft of a few more on my computer. I still hope to get the registration ball rolling later this year, albeit not as early as I had hoped. I should be able to get a lot more done after I finish marking exams and writing term papers next week, so keep an eye on the bylaws page if you want to see how things are going. In our last meeting, we discussed getting our own website, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to look into that. I have no idea how to go about website registration or how much it would cost, though if someone wanted to get that ball rolling, I'm sure that the organization would be able to reimburse your costs once it is founded. I think our own private site run off of a closed wiki, like wikimediafoundation.org, would be handy. -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)

[Wikimedia-Canada] update about bylaws
by Jeffery Nichols 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Thank you all for your patience with my schedule. I've started the process of updating our by-laws at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Proposed_by-laws and I hope to be finished in a couple weeks, at which point we can have a meeting about them. Feel free to comment about the bylaws in the talk page or edit the bylaws yourself, but if you want to edit the legally mandated sections, be sure that you aren't deleting something required. I hope to talk to you all in a couple weeks! -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)

[Wikimedia-Canada] bylaw extension

I support Jeffery's request for a bit more time ================================ Ken Goudsward Assistant Registrar - Records & Operations University of Northern British Columbia goudswak(a)unbc.ca 250.960.5197 1. bylaw schedule (Jeffery Nichols) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:30:45 -0330 From: Jeffery Nichols <arctic.gnome(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Wikimedia-Canada] bylaw schedule To: Wikimedia Canada planning list <wikimedia-ca(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <EF5CE122-CE5D-40B5-9883-295E22127DF1(a)gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Hey, everyone. As much as I hate to request a schedule change on my behalf, I move that we be a bit more flexible about March 18 being our final due date for the bylaws. The next four weeks are the busiest of the year for me, and I want to be very careful about the bylaws and do proper research into writing them. I don't think that I'll be able to put in work up to my standards if I don't have a free day or two before the due date to devote to the bylaws. We can still have a meeting on the 18th to look at where we are, but I would be much more comfortable with the final product if we submit it to the WMF a week or two later. -Jeffery Nichols (Arctic.gnome)
