I've finished the merger of the two drafts of the bylaws, and the result
(with links to the originals) are here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Proposed_by-laws
There needs to be a bit of legal tweaking done still. There was a lot of
work done on these drafts previously, and in many cases the wording was in a
different order. I've tried to capture all of the difference in strikeout
text, where the letter of the drafts differed in substantive ways.
I've eliminated the numbering of the sections for now, as it's the content
that needs review.
I'd like to extend thanks to Ec and Greeves, the main authors of the drafts,
and of course anyone who contributed to them.
Thanks,
Gerald.
The formal meeting with the judges is coming up soon, and I'd like to have a
brief pre-meeting/discussion to decide on which of the 2 meetings we will
attend, and to fine tune the bid page.
If anyone is interested in helping out with the bid, attending, or just
proofreading, feel free to drop me a note indicating what you might be
interested in doing, either to this list or to my e-mail address.
Thanks,
Gerald.
I am looking for a volunteer to create a WMC page for French speaking
individuals. I believe they should be kept informed with a summary page
that we can link to from the main WMC page on meta. I'm looking to move
forward with revamping the main page, but would like a French page to link
to through this process. Anyone interested, please contact me.

I just received this email from Andrew, a member of the Chapters Committee.

Hello Greeves, I'm Andrew Whitworth. I'm part of the chapters committee
(chapcom), and I'll be attending your IRC meeting tomorrow night (username:
wknight8111). I'm going to serve as the Wikimedia Canada official chapcom
representative. The chapcom is trying to appoint one member to oversee each
chapter. That way, there is an official point of contact between the two
groups. If you have questions or comments for the chapcom, direct them to me
and I will ensure they get to the proper channels ASAP.
I don't plan on talking much during the meeting, but I can probably help
answer a few questions (and those that I can't answer directly, I will find
people who can answer them). I'll also probably prepare a short summary of
the meeting for the chapcom members who are not able to attend the meeting.
Feel free to forward this email, in whole or in part, to anybody else you
think should know about this.
Sorry if you are not the correct person to contact (your name appears most
prominently in several places, so i figured you were a good place to start).

At the January 30, 2008 meeting I would like to discuss the formation of a
steering committee. The purpose of this committee will be to manage the
project of forming the Wikimedia Canada charity. This committee will remain
in place for up to 3 years or until the WMC charity is formed and a board is
elected. Any suggestions on what positions should exist on this committee,
please feel free to comment here on the list serv as it will make the
meeting more efficient. I propose we need:
1. Chairperson
2. Vice-chair person
3. Treasurer
4. Secretary (Organizes meetings, communicates results, maintains record of
meetings)
5. Legal adviser (Conducts research on legal issues relating to committee
activities and goals)
