Hi all,
it'd be great to know how the meeting today went - just basic details like whether the MoA and AoA are finalised, and what the timetable for incorporation is. Immersed in my own mountain of paperwork here, but it's all academic literature, I'm afraid..

Someone else was (I think/hope!) taking minutes (actually, I'm sure James was doing the great business) but yes, I think the meeting concluded in a state where the AoA and MoA were considered as satisfactory, adequate, and complete. The ongoing schedule wasn't defined, aiui, other than an 'asap' position, but others may correct me as I had to keep popping out the room (thanks to too much coffee and red bull and nothing else until we adjourned to the pub!)

Oddly I didn't get Cormac's email. But anyway.
I was there, it was great to meet everyone - a good bunch of dedicated, smart people, who I'm sure will serve Wiki Educational Resources (yup, the name seems to have been confirmed, thank goodness!) well. Only sad I had to rush off and couldn't socialise with you all.
It was a long meeting, but useful: everything that needed to get thrashed and pulled and tested and tried, did get thrashed and tested and pulled and tried. Progress is being made, and a real sense of achievement at the end.
As I said at the meeting, I'm happy to be a signatory to the articles, but not to be a director/trustee.(A midwife not a godparent, I think I said in the meeting.) But I look forward to watching, and helping, the new baby to progress towards being a bouncy baby, err, Wikimedia UK!
Have fun
Scott

I really wish Alison had been able to make it last time, 'cos a lot of the stuff we'd carefully hammered out, she utterly demolished using experience of horrible real life disasters ;-) But I *think* we've got it now. If it passes the lawyer, cross fingers.
(Essentially, we want: "we can do anything we like. If the Charity Commission accepts it. And if it isn't an invitation to legal trolls.")
Next proper meeting, we should be able to actually sign paperwork!

Great - with ink and quill (rather than our normal editor's red markers..)
