Regards,
Kwan Ting Chan Chair, Wikimedia UK v2.0
I've already had someone from Chapters ctte point out to me that certain things cannot be done by 'the new team' until the new body is legal and above board and has a contract with the Foundation (eg. join the internal wiki and mailling list). Saying "Wikimedia UK" is one of those things (though yay and we know what you mean)
As with the first time around, you'll need to use your 'working name' (WIN?) for the time being and not imply you are an authorised part of the Wikimedia 'empire'.
I didn't say "Wikimedia UK", I said specifically "Wikimedia UK v2.0", i.e. the name used on the meta page to describe our effort to form a new chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation in the United Kingdom. I would use our working name, once we agree on one.......
Technically, we're not Wikimedia UK v2.0 until we officially replace v1.0 as the official UK chapter. The name we use on meta is somewhat questionable, but I doubt anyone cares about details like that. Calling yourself "Chair, Wikimedia UK v2.0" is probably taking things too far, though. How about "Chair, proposed Wikimedia UK v2.0"?
