Congratulations (or not, depending on what your thoughts on working for the Crown Prosecution Service are:) ).

*grins*

The MoA, as amended, seems ok. I've posted a couple of minor amendments to the AoA (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php? title=Wikimedia_UK%2FArticles_of_Association&diff=249634&oldid= 249629), but otherwise all ok.

OK, made those changes.

Are you all right for running this past a charity lawyer before incorporation, James?

Yes, Jimbo gave me the address of one.

Which one is it? ie Can we have the name and address (or website link)?

...

...

Does Delphine need to release some funds for this?

I do not believe that that is necessary.

...

Also, have you found a solicitor for us to sign in front of?

No, not yet. Anyone else have any ideas, or should I just find a local solicitors', and walk in and ask?

Phoning might be better!! Might as well. It'd be easier to get a quorum (probably four of us) in London. Do we not have a solicitor friend on WP who would do this for free? If not, I can't imagine it's too much just to have our signatures witnessed.

We need a time and place :)

I think the 7th of January could work - a Saturday that's not Christmas Eve, not New Year's Eve, and in more than five days' time. As for a place, I have no problem with it being done near (or, indeed, in ;-)) my house.

Assuming there is a solicitor available on a Saturday. Where is your house, James? We'll also need a "registered address"? Are we ok with that being your place?

...

...

Seems we're nearly there as far as incorporation is concerned. Then we can aim to apply to the Charity Commission early next year,

Agreed. Moving on a pace. Brilliant.

Suggest we move the discussion back onto the mail list??

Certainly.

I will email my solicitor today.

OK. I have sent off the current drafts of the MoA and AoA to Diane, but unfortunately she says she won't be able to reply until probably Monday because she is travelling. Depending on whether there are significant problems with our drafts as they stand, this may complicate timings somewhat.
