Dear all,
I just wanted to let you know that Michael Maggs has taken over from me as Chair of Wikimedia UK. Michael has served as chair of the Governance Committee since his election to the Board in June, is a long-serving Wikimedia Commons bureaucrat, and I am sure he will do an excellent job.
Greyham Dawes continues as Treasurer and Alastair McCapra continues as Secretary.
Congratulations. I look forward to increased openness and a focus on monitoring the performance of the charity in 2014 to ensure its effective and efficient operation.
I was under the impression that Alastair McCapra had stood down as Secretary as decided in the September 2013 board meeting.[1] Could the situation please be confirmed by the board of trustees?
To clarify the term "long-serving Wikimedia Commons bureaucrat", Michael had both rights of admin and bureaucrat restored seven months ago, without a community vote, after retiring in December 2010.[2]
