A lot of discussion has occurred between lots of people, on IRC, email, this mailing list,
meta and in some cases vocally. The only decision's i can say that have been made is
to hold an election. The notice of that was made on two mailing lists and many people were
informed on wiki as well. At the moment there are steps being taken in setting up a group to
oversee the election. The timetable was placed on meta, as far as i am aware there has
been no complaints regarding that. It has been a fine balance between ensuring that decisions had
community imput and ensuring they made as quickly as possible. The necessity for WMUK to be
working and up and running for a Wikimania bid has also been a strong driving force. We are
just trying to get this done and out of the way so WMUK can get on and be successful.
