A 3-month notice period? So the contract between WM UK v1 and WMF wasn't the same one as Delphine has a copy of online (which is for a year and it automatically renewed each year unless someone stops it)? That should make things simpler for the new chapter if the old hasn't finished going through all the bureaucracy of winding up by the time we're ready to sign up with WMF.
I'd have to double-check the contract to answer that, I might be wrong! But it doesn't matter, 3 months or annual renewal or whatever - the point being a mechanism such that the WMF can pull the plug if the chapter dies or goes rogue, but can't do so with no notice.
It's just a matter of how long it takes. If the contract is the one that's online, then the WMF can't unilaterally revoke WM UK v1.0's chapter status for another 10 months or so (I can't see this being an issue, since I don't think anyone wants it to retain chapter status, but it is a theoretical stumbling block).
