I believe the matter was discussed at Board level when Roger, iirc at the time WMUK Chair, took up consulting with the Monmouth Council and he resigned from the post of Chair as a result of this assignment. Can a Board Member please shed more light on this?

So nice to agree.... with Jimbo.

Paid work as Trustee is not against Charity Commission rules. We agreed that previously.

But to take on Monothopedia and Gib-Pedia? And stay on as a Trustee?

It was noted that he sits out of discussions on such projects.

Time to sit out. For good, Roger? And carry on the good work (but not as a Trustee)?
