If you have any views or suggestions about the agreement, please leave comments on the talk page, or feel free to edit the draft response itself. I hope that a complete response can be written before the next board meeting (this coming Tuesday) so that we can approve it then and get it sent off.
SLOW DOWN! We don't have a lawyer yet. We can't do this until we have one. Informal discussion between chapters is fine, but we aren't ready to form a committee to do anything even vaguely official yet.
Well the committee has been formed. We now have to work as best we can with this commitee to ensure all issues are covered.
I've advised Mike on this in detail, but I'll put a summary here. If this committee is going to be negotiating with WMF before we've spoken to a lawyer, then we want to have nothing to do with it.
Thomas, who is "we"? As far as I know, WmUK was one of the many chapters that mandated the committee, so I am not sure whether "we" is "you personally" or whether the board's opinion has officially changed.
