*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?
