Our answer to a proposal from Joseph to be pat of an overseeing body:
We at ChapCom are happy to see your energetic efforts to restart the Wikimedia UK chapter. We are following your progress by three of us being participants of your UK mailgroup. We are prepared to give our support in your work, when and if it is needed. We look at an interim committee as a temporary body where the formalities for being involved could be be kept at minimum. Mostly we have seen it being set up by a group of volunteers. And as we want to see an election to be fully controlled by the involved community, we say no to being part of any overseeing body. If you want though, we could appoint an "advisor" to support you effort. Anders Wennersten on behalf of ChapCom
