Some thoughts: * Board and management Board consists of a president (Jimmy Wales, hard to imagine otherwise), a representative of the chapters, and 2 or 3 representatives for the volunteers. All non-paid. The board is supported by two (paid) secretaries (handling correspondence, phone, communication of board meetings etc to the community) * Staff The board members coördinate the chief officers. The chief officers are the head of their department (mostly local officers, for development and financial there is no need for locals). All non-paid (except for the members of the financial department - not the chief). Local members can be chapter representatives, but that is not necessary. Press: Contact for the press, coördination of press releases Grants: Coördination of grants and fundraising Legal: Go into action agains people who don't respect our license, taking care of legal claims against us, advising chapters and projects PR: Coördination of promotion of WMF in general (for example newsletters), and specific activities (for example the reaching of certain milestones, Wikimania, local congresses). Maybe also the organisation of Wikimania (with an ad hoc committee). Development: Taking care of software development Financial: Bookkeeping, budgetting Other departments??? *Fundraising scheme: More structural grants from (for example) United Nations and the European Union. * Chapters: The chapters in Europe have evolved into departments of the European Chapter. -Fruggo
