I'd like to remind everyone about the meeting tonight at 1:00 UTC. We will not be finalizing the proposal to the WMF as originally planed, as reviews by KenWalker and Eclecticology have found some outstanding problems that will yet take a while to fix. Nevertheless, I would like to keep our meeting tonight to discuss:
1. Who's names to put on the articles of incorporation and in what province our address will be as per bill C-4 (2nd s, 40th p). These names are open to change, and the names chosen will not confer extra powers to those people, but I think it would be useful to have some official faces, both for outsider questions and for helping commit people to the project. 2. Our statements of purpose. This needs some reworking and I think it might be useful to discuss them in chat in addition to on the talk page like we are doing for legal fixes. 3. Making sure that everyone is on the same page regarding what legal documents we are checking the bylaws against (reviewers keep finding new laws we have to follow, arg). 4. Questions and comments from new people to the project. 5. Overview of submittal process to WMF (more on that next meeting when the bylaws are done).
Everyone with an interest in the project is welcome at the meeting. Download a copy of Skype and add your username to the rsvp list at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Meetings/2009-06-18

I might not make it for 9pm, as I have a meeting just prior to that. I'll be there as soon as I can, and I can try to peek in with mobile, but I'm not sure if it works that well.
I am still interested in helping ... do let me know if I can help with the outstanding bylaw bits.
Thanks, Gerald
