Hi all, At the last meeting, Tango made the good suggestion that I start sending out summaries of the board meetings, including the interesting points and questions that we would like your views on. This email is the first of those - I'll endeavour to send these out closer to the board meeting in future (i.e. within ~ 24 hours of the meeting). The bullet point summary of the interesting parts of the meeting (and some points from previous meetings) is: - Seddon is in discussion with the Manchester Tourist Board with an eye to bidding for Wikimania 2013 in Manchester - Seddon and Steve Virgin are looking for potential locations for the WMUK conference to be held with our next AGM - Steve is also pursuing leads for collaboration with companies/other non-profits/schools - We now have a Paypal account which you can donate to - see http:// uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Donate - We will be sending our response to HMRC soon. We're also soliciting pro bono lawyers. We'd like your views on the following questions: How widely available should the Register of Members be amongst the Board? We now have an internal board wiki which we currently have the Register of Members on, such that it is available to all of the Board. Does anyone have any objections to this? How many of the Board should have access to the Paypal account? We ask this because Paypal lets anyone with access to the account make transactions (e.g. buying things off eBay), and if we set up a direct debit link to our bank account this potentially means that there is a way around the current system requiring two signatures for expenditures. Something similar exists with access to the account via online banking. Would it be worth us making a resolution that states that approval from the board (either via a board meeting, or email) must be obtained prior to any outgoing transactions via online banking or paypal? Thanks, Mike Peel
