Hmm, well this is getting Murkier still. Have people violated these principles.
Someone on Jimbo's talk linked to this article: http://www.chronicle.gi/headlines_details.php?id=25440
Which:
a) Identifies Roger as WMUK director with implication he is acting in official capacity b) Says that Gibraltar approached WMUK
I appreciated this is the media, so inaccuracey is likely. But I suggest we quickly resolve the following issues:
* Did Gibraltar approach WMUK, or is this incorrect & they approached the Monmouthpedia orgnaisers? * If they did not approach WMUK, did they think, or were they led to think they were approaching WMUK by whoever they did approach? * Has Roger used his position as WMUK director to obtain this Gibraltar contract?
I'm AGF that nothing untoward has happened here, but I suggest a statement be issued with some urgency to clear these matters up. Or it may well backfire on the charity.

Indeed - I think it is even mentioned in one of our many governance documents.

Whilst there may be no precise misdemeanor, can we assume that our charity (Wikimedia UK) follows and applies the Nolan Principles to all Trustees?
