Hi, all!
On Saturday, we founded Wikimedia Norway. Its name is Wikimedia Norge (Bokmål), with Wikimedia Noreg (Nynorsk) and Wikimedia Norga (Northern Sámi) as equal forms. There was some discussion and some changes to the bylaw proposal, but the whole process was very tidy, and we got it done in two hours. It was also decided that the bylaws will be revised in the first regular general assembly, when we have more time (we had a limited amount of time today, but everything went smoothly).
The translation of the bylaws will begin as soon as they are uploaded. The decision was made that the Bokmål edition of the bylaws is the main one, but that translations shall be made - and kept in sync with Bokmål - into Nynorsk, Northern Sami and English.
The elected board contains nine members, all of course from the community: * [[no:User:Haros]] - Hans Rosbach, president * [[no:User:Silje]] - Silje Bakke, Vice President * [[no:User:Bombadil]] - Marius Helgå * [[no:User:Jeblad]] - John Erling Blad * [[no:User:Nina]] - Nina Aldin Thune * [[no:User:Noorse]] - Siri Johannesen * [[nn:User:Ranveig]] - Ranveig Mossige Thattai * [[no:User:PaulVIF]] - Pål Giørtz * [[nn:User:Trondtr]] - Trond Trosterud
Not all of these were attending the meeting, but all were of course willing to be on the board, and had been contacted beforehand. An audit committee was also chosen, from among the attendees. Its members are Hans-Petter Fjeld (Atluxity), Frode Inge Helland, Johannes Kaasa, Jon Harald Søby and Harry Wad (Harrywad).
The meeting protocal will come online shortly, and the bylaws will be translated to English for the approval of the Chapter Committee.
Hoi, Congratulations :) Thanks, GerardM
