Hello,
I have a stupid question...
Are you planning to have the bylaws visible by the WMF before creating the association ? If so, where can we see them ?
Actually... I will go further, is the association planning to be part of Wikimedia chapters or is it fully an independant association ?
If a chapter, I think the Foundation should be not only informed on the bylawys, but should also approve them. If it is an independant association, likely not. But if so, we'll have to do a formal review to see whether you may use names or logos.
What is planned about that ? Just asking because I heard very little of it.

Thank you to James for posting revised MoA and AoA. It's Table C that refers to companies limited by guarantee and without a share capital - however let's see what it says before making that change.
Once James has got a final legal review of the MoA and AoA and we've had an opportunity to find the deliberate typo he added (or did not add) to see if we're looking, we can sign things. Hurray!
James - I can pop round, or invite you round, or meet you halfway for whenever's convenient. I'm sure at least one other can so that we have at least 3 members/directors to incorporate with. If we can't get the others straightaway, we can co-opt them as soon as we're incorporated - then we can get things moving towards applying to the Charities Commission. I see no need for another meeting to agree what we've already agreed - let's use the next meeting to progress the project further.
I'll be looking for suitable banks and preparing a (guessed) draft start-up budget to help.
Let's get this baby born and on the road!
