Welcome back to the internet, Brian.
Your candidacy was forwarded to the tellers; they should be able to
confirm that they have received it, if they haven't already.
The deadline for candidates is Friday 9th April (23:59), so there's
still time for others (like you, the person reading this email) to
put themselves forward.

Yes, they could.
Guys, I'm back on my own PC, now having replaced the power supply. I
hold more to Gordon's comments; the law may have changed, and I would
not have to disclose my address, but if serving in a board capacity I
can see no circumstance where I'd withhold such information from a
WMUK
member.
The board *serves* the members, and, to be honest, even if the
registration requirements no longer require these details be
divulged, I
would argue that being prepared to give personal contact details to a
member being a matter of course as far as the duties go.
Unfortunately, with my PC outage (PSU died), I've no idea if I got
registered as a candidate in time. I'm trying to look into that right
now; I'm wanting to stand on a basis that WMUK could support my pet
project (Wikinews) and improve things for itself. As some on-list may
know, I had to resign from the WMF Communications Committee for a
'technical' conflict of interest (I will be blunt, speak my mind, &c
where I see it as appropriate, WMF becoming ultra-conservative on
such.
However, in service on a Chapter board I see no serious issues, and an
opportunity to run a recruitment drive in Scotland.)
If I've - through my semi-desperate email registered as a
candidate, I'm
open to any queries on how I'd like to see WMUK grow. I'm very
ambitious
about getting WMUK seen as serious and respectable, I do want to push
Wikinews issues, but I only want to do so where I can see a
short-to-medium term benefit to WMUK.
So, if I'm up as a candidate, spam me with questions!
