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.
