I'm not entirely sure I understand the process here for making decisions. Reading through http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK_v2.0 I can see a few decisions are already being presented as if they have been made:
- The initial Board will have 3-5 members
- The initial Board will serve only until the AGM
- WM-UK will be a Company Limited by Guarantee
- The name will be "Wiki Information Network"
How have/should these decisions be made? a consensus on the email list? a consensus on the wiki page?
Consensus on IRC for the most part, but they're all still open for discussion if you disagree with any of them (except the 2nd one - that's the law!).
Oh, and I think the board having a minimum of 3 people is the law too (well, I think that's charity law, rather than company law, so doesn't actually apply to us at this stage, but we want to be compliant with charity law from the start to make registering easier).
