What is the current status of the WCA? The last update I can find is an email from Ziko to this list on 24 August (a month and a half ago) saying there would be a full report soon. Have I missed that report or are we still waiting for it?

Yes the report did not happen. Here is my update sent to the Chapters list 2 days ago to avoid any confusion about what is planned:
Subject: Re: [Chapters] Calling for WCA meeting ... A more detailed email is being prepared explaining the supported recruitment process that we expect to establish the Secretary General by the end of this year. I am recommending that: * this is not dependent on finalizing a budget, as we can now confirm sufficient budget commitment to the WCA to, at a minimum, have sufficient to cover wind-up costs for the SG after employment * the process will "piggy-back" on the WCA committees already formed, however I would expect the recruitment process itself to be open to all Council Members at every stage * I have asked for a telecon schedule to be published on :meta next week, so that Council Members can ask questions of the recruitment manager and be updated on progress through out the recruitment process.
I want first to raise this as a proposal with the Council Members, to check if we need a resolution and a vote or they are content to proceed. This will be the key purpose of the above email being prepared. So I am being naughty in telling you first on this list before we do that. :-) <<<<
Cheers, Fae
Thanks for the update. Has there been any progress with incorporating (or even deciding where to incorporate)? If not, what is your intention for the hiring process? Will the SG be hired by one of the chapters, or something? On Oct 6, 2012 4:20 PM, "Fae" faenwp@gmail.com wrote:
