Hello,
During the board meeting in Rotterdam, it was decided that the audit committee for the coming year would be made of * Michael (treasurer) * Oscar * Dedalus * myself (ex officio)

We will be working on an audit committee charter. The committee is directed to take all steps necessary to prepare quarterly or semi-annual reviews (next review is early february), and the next financial year external audit. The committee will also work to help implementation of some of the suggestions made by the audit firm in november 2006.
You'll notice that one of the audit committee members is Dedalus, who contacted us last november when we published the audited financial statement, and identified himself as an auditor. We met him last week in Rotterdam. I am very happy we'll receive help from a professional, who also happens to be a wikipedian.
Thank you
Florence Devouard Chair of WMF
