Actually, Abbas, the resolution has passed already - 6 in favour, 0 opposed, 0 abstained.

So, it's congrats indeed! (and no holding of breaths :-))

Ah, Oscar, hold your breath! The Board of Trustees is yet to pass a resolution. And that's when we'll be an official chapter.

No, that's ChapCom's vote. It's a two-fold process: chapcom's approval then the Board's approval. We are still awaiting the Board to vote on this...

A bit confusing, but yes - officially the Chapters Committee only advises the board. The Board of Trustees makes the final decision on the recommandation of the Chapters Committee. Usually that takes roughly two weeks.

Best regards,

Hi guys,

I believe the boards aporoval is simply going to be a formality. We need to start putting our house in order. We should start thinking of electing our Board, Expedite the registration process with Kenyan Authorities and start laying and strategising our annual projects.

Best,

True! thanks Oscah for the timely updates ,now that the year has just started we need to work on prioritizing our tasks and execute them accordingly , me thinks registration comes before elections ,then interim officials need to work on the registration Abbas, Oscah,Steve ,Ann and the team coz the registration daint need our input having had enough discussions on the same before , maybe we do a meet up and decide the mode ,date , of electing the board in accordance of with our constitution ,the new board with our input needs to come up with a road map of the projects to be undertaken this year.

Thanks

Bruce Obwari,

Branton,

The registration can not come before elections because we will need the Board Members to act as signatories when signing the certificate(s) of registration.

Once the Board is elected, I will also forward their names to be added to the Wikimedia Chapters mailing list.

Warmly, Abbas.
