Thank you for this clarification, which I am actually aware of, but
it's good to make the distinction since I haven't made it in my email.
However, it is very clear (as you suggest) that
the Chapter should invite everybody who wants to
take part to the forthcoming AGM.
Yes, my request is that the "members of the company" make sure that
their next AGM actually invites everyone who is interested in the
future of Wikimedia UK, and also make sure that these people get a say
in how this goes further, whether "legally" (by maybe accepting on the
spot membership fees if that is possible), or through "common sense"
(by taking into account the participant's suggestions).
Best,
