The board should always be open to ideas ...

Rest assured Tom the trustees have been looking at options and will of course share their thoughts with the community. The process requires several stages of thought before we get to a point where we can ask for suggestions but we are making excellent progress and will soon have lots to share.

Is there a plan in place for how WMUK is going to put together its 2013 annual plan? We need to start work on it very soon.
I see on the agenda for this weekend's meeting that there is an item for discussing the five year plan (I'm glad that hasn't completely stalled), but given the delays with it I don't see that being finalised in time to base the 2013 plan on it. There is also an item for "Draft budget against fundraising target and meeting the 5 year plan." but I'm not sure what that means.
I think the natural place to start putting together an annual plan, especially in the absence of a long-term plan to base it on, is with a public call for ideas. If Sue's recommended timeline for the FDC [1] gets adopted (and I expect it will), then WMUK will need to submit its plan on 1 October. That's only 3 months away, so I suggest that call for ideas go out ASAP.
