Good afternoon all,<div><br></div><div>Jon Davies, our Chief Executive, has just posted the following message regarding the call for an EGM on the UK Wiki:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">&quot;I have discussed this matter with Fae this morning. He is keen that there should be no division in the WMUK community over his role as Chair, especially at a time when so many great things are being achieved. He has therefore resigned as Chair. A board meeting, already scheduled for this evening, will see the election of a new Chair. </span><a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jon_Davies_WMUK" title="User:Jon Davies WMUK" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11,0,128);background-image:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px">Jon Davies WMUK</a><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> (</span><a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jon_Davies_WMUK" title="User talk:Jon Davies WMUK" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11,0,128);background-image:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px">talk</a><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">) 13:29, 2 August 2012 (UTC)</span>&quot;</div>
