I am one of the people who has done a substantial amount of work on Wikimedia Canada for the last couple years, but I am not one of the people on the incorporation list. I do not feel insulted by being left off the list because based on the discussions that have read, I have confidence that the people who signed the incorporation documents will run a fair election for board members and hope that the people we elect as board members will be transparent.
The people on this list should know that there were emails sent to a small group after August 7 discussing the incorporation papers, but those emails were discussing the logistics of registration and did not make any changes to the bylaws and policy that are not on the website.
The one topic that was discussed in those emails that the larger group may want to discuss is what name we will use if the government rejects the name "Wiki Canada" for sounding like a government department. If you have any comments about that, feel free to start a thread about it in this email list.
As far as I know, there have been no other backroom discussions.
