A simpler explanation of how to do it ...

1. A trust is made a member, with a block vote. (I suggest a trust since
they have the advantage of low running cost). It is owned or entrusted by
Wikimedia UK. It runs a specific commercial side of Wikimedia UK:
recognising certain "anonymous editors" as people it will legally represent
as a member, in return for a once-off payment, with all "profit" passing to
the foundation. It identifies these editors via a nom de plume, a wiki*
email, or any other means of identification that's verifiable and not a real
name (eg, a password or similar) rather than storing "real life" ID.
Criteria for appointment are roughly at a parity to the criteria for
membership (this prevents abuse via carpetbagging).

2. There is a once-off fee for the benefits, namely lifetime representation
within the trust's membership rights (roughly at a parity to the membership
fee, plus a couple of pounds perhaps for admin costs and because they are
not liable under the £1 guarantee as members would be.)  In return for
paying this once-off fee, the trust provides a lifelong representation
service - it allows them one vote of its block vote, attending rights as a
"representative" and the like, so that people who pay via this route can
effectively exercise the same rights as Wikimedia UK members.

3. The system if done right is not susceptible to abuse. Only people who
meet similar criteria as members would have to can become clients of this
trust (or company); they must pay a similar fee to that payable by members
(including an amount equivalent to the £1 guarantee); they gain in return
the rights which Wikimedia UK members have of effectively, speaking, one
vote, notification of legal matters, and attending meetings, and the system
is immune to people gaining more rights, or having a say within Wikimedia
UK, or multiple vote stacking or rigging, identically as if they had joined
Wikimedia UK directly as members.

4. However as they are clients of a commercial (non-profit making)
operation, and are paying in order to get a service, they are neither in any
legal arrangement or contract with Wikimedia UK and cannot be ID'ed from
that side. Nor are they trustees, or officers of the commercial body. They
are clients pure and simple, and in a contract with the trust (or company).
The law is that client transactions must be recorded for commercial bodies,
but no law states that personal information must be, and provided Wikimedia
UK is happy with the new joiner, no details of personal name need ever be on
file. Recording pseudonyms, dates, and that a Wikimedia UK officer has
confirmed the person has met the same criteria as for membership, is
sufficient.

5. The surpluses of these once-off fees are then passed to Wikimedia UK as
charitable donations or distributions, keeping the commercial arm profit
neutral and free of tax, exactly as for the commercial arms of all other
charities, foundations, and trusts.  This parallels the £20 or so membership
fee which non-anonymous members would have to pay.


Hope that makes sense.   Legally this (or something like it) is watertight
under UK law, and would cost almost nothing to run. Perhaps if it did cause
extra cost, charging people who wished to be anonymous members via such a
scheme a small extra sum to cover the extra running costs, would not be seen
as unreasonable.  But it shouldn't.

Some Whois registrars will allow you to make them your proxy agent if you are a private individual and all of them will allow you to withold your address even with co.uk, british registered sites. So the whole idea of an "agent" is well sounded in law.  I think that the UK government (including the charties commission) view privacy and transparancy as differently than we do.  A serious stalker would have to spend a lot of time and money to obtain the documents you mention and like requesting a birth certificate they have to give their names and addresses to do so. A director search is very public, but that is not of concern here.
