I've been assembling my notes from last week's board meeting to pass along. The first set of items I have to report is business from the chapters committee. All of these resolutions have been posted on the foundation website.
We approved two new chapters, and there's something special about each of the two. Wikimedia New York City is special because it's the first one recognized under the new sub-national chapter guidelines. And Wikimedia UK is special because it's the second version of that chapter. For the sake of formality - and nobody does formality better than the British, which has been part of the difficulty - we revoked the recognition of the first one, which is dissolved or in the process of dissolving. Anyway, welcome to both of the new chapters!
Also, two resolutions relating to the chapters committee's membership and procedures were approved. One recognizes the current members and the other allows the committee to determine its own membership in the future. This allows them to keep their work going without waiting for the board to pass a resolution (the board reserves the ability to appoint and remove members and will still be informed of changes).
