Hi,
i think the articles look great. Awesome job. i think it is easier to make a decision on the quorum if we Abbas can tell us the members we have currently. Based on my estimation of the members i would think 10 people are enough for the quorum.
As for the proxy, i think it would be better to limit them to only Wikimedia Kenya members. By this i mean that non-members should not be given chances to be proxies, only members.
Lastly i suggest that from our experience we just write down the duties our project managers performed during the pilot plus a few others. This includes, writing reports on the project, being accountable for the money entrusted among other duties.

Greetings,
I have finally managed to get in touch with the advocate and managed to get a draft of the articles of association. My apologies for the delay. I have the following comments regarding the attached document:
- it is a draft copy, so please have a look at it and feel free to share your thoughts. If there is something left out, kindly let me know. If you need the lawyer to clarify some articles, I will be happy to schedule a meeting with him so that he can clarify the articles as appropriate.
- I particularly need your input in:
- Quorum. I remember that the first time I had drated these bylaws, Oliver had raised an issue on quorum. What kind of quorum do you think is sufficient for meetings?
- Proxy. The lawyer has attached a proxy sample in the articles. Please do tell me if you find it necessary for us to leave it there.
- The duties of the project manager.
Looking forward to getting your feedback.
Cheers,
Abbas.
ps - the next phase after us agreeing on this document is to resubmit it to the Chapters Committee for approval.
