Firstly, Andrew, please fix your mail client, you keep breaking threads - it's very annoying!
Just out of interest is this how Wikimedia #1 was formed? If so, how much of a problem did you find bringing everyone together in a single place?
If you can't bring everyone together how do you intend to hold in person board meetings? I think there was general agreement that doing everything on IRC wasn't a good idea.

You don't see the list of current directors by looking at the formation documents - you look on Companies House. It will be clear that we have 5 directors regardless of the method of formation.
They will look at the Mem and Arts as well (I know for certain banks will want to see them) and they may not be happy with you opening a bank account during that first month since you have the option of getting rid of 4 of the board and leaving one person to go on a spending spree.
