Well, I think you can safely assume that the existing members of the company are not currently paying chapter fees (though I'm sure some of them have used their personal funds for WMUK related work).
The chapter membership for company membership requirement is certainly not a legal one, and in the circumstances waving it seems as essential as it is trivial.

Alison Wheeler stated:
*Generally it was felt to be in the best interests of the organisation as a whole that anyone active on the Company side (including being a member) should also be a supporting (Chapter) member although it cannot be a 'compulsory' issue.*
So is this being wavered in that for now, in that membership of the company
for the time being will not include membership of the chapter, until the time comes where we have a bank account? or is it that payment is being help off till a bank account is available?

There are, as I understand, no money issues with membership of the company. (They only need to get money out of us if the company goes bankrupt.)

How are the money issues going to be handled?

Having just spoken to someone on IRC, I would like some clarification about who can actually attend the AGM. Thanks.
um, I'm not sure how I can be any clearer than what I wrote earlier!
"The AGM required by Company law is that of Wiki Educational Resources
Ltd
and those entitled to attend are, therefore, the registered <members of the company>. It is, has been, and always will be open to recipients of this list and others to request to register themselves as such members and, should people be interested in standing for election to the WER Ltd Board then they need to be so registered."
