Remember, nothing has changed yet. Sue is just asking how we feel about the idea in order to inform her recommendations to the WMF board. It will be for the WMF board to decide if they wish to make it a requirement for fundraising, and I doubt that they will.
If, come May, it is looking like it might be a requirement then it should certainly be discussed as the AGM. As you say, it would need a decision of a general meeting before it could actually be implemented (although I would advise against voting on it at this AGM even if the WMF ask us to - we need to take our time over such a big decision).
Yes, we do need to take our time, which is why I suggested an item on the agenda for the 2012 AGM, to inform and explore what this means *for* *WMUK*. The governance of WMUK, the trademark agreements and the fundraising arrangements (etc) were constrained by the "parent" body, but WMUK is not a subsidiary company of any other company.
