Could somebody concisely explain what this certainly means for WMUK, and what it might mean in the worst- and best-case scenarios? I understand the issues, and I'm sure the nuances are still being worked out, but I can't be the only person wondering.

Those of you not on Foundation-l might be interested to see this post from Ting, the chair of the Foundation board, which has some important implications for the development of Wikimedia UK in future.

Dear members of the community,
After having discussed the final aspects of this today I would like to announce the following three resolutions
1) Board of Trustees Voting Transparency: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Board_of_Trustees_Voting_Tran... 1) Fundraising 2012: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Fundraising_2012 2) Funds Dissemination Committee: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee
For those of you who are currently in Berlin, we will have a 2 hour window tomorrow to discuss this together, we invite you to send questions for this session to Harel Cain (<harel.cain@gmail.com mailto:harel.cain@gmail.com>) He will be moderating tomorrow's session which will be similar to the Q&A session we had in Paris.
We are currently working on a Question and Answer document which we will publish as soon as possible.
Although the decision has now been made, we have a large number of challenges ahead of us and I hope that we as a movement will come together to make the Funds Dissemination Committee a success by working with us to come up with answers tot the questions that we still have and helping to make it work!
