Dear all,
Here are the results of the resolutions and elections held at the Wikimedia UK AGM today:
Resolutions
1. Change of name: passed with 2 votes against and 4 abstentions 2. Registration in Scotland: passed with 1 vote against and 5 abstentions 3. Increasing the term of Board members: passed with 46 votes in favour, 10 against and 5 abstentions 4. Membership fees: passed without objection (1 abstention) 5. Appoint Board members: passed without objection (2 abstentions) 6. Approve 2011 accounts: passed without objection (7 abstentions) 7. Approve 2012 accounts: withdrawn 8. Re-appoint auditors: passed without objection (6 abstentions)
Please note that for all resolutions except number 3, the actual tally of votes in favour was not kept as the show of hands and number of proxy votes given to the Tellers was sufficient to show an overwhelming majority in favour.
Election of Board members
The number of votes given for each candidate was as follows:
Christopher Keating 52 Michael Peel 50 Ashley Van Haeften 49 Joscelyn Upendran 48 John Byrne 46 Roger Bamkin 46 Doug Taylor 40 Steve Virgin 38 Saad Choudri 34 Roshana Gammampila 27 Katie Chan 26 Alison Fayers-Kerr 11 Christopher Allen 10 Thomas Nichols 6 Gary Hayes 2 Junior Campbell 1
The total number of votes cast was 61, and therefore candidates required a minimum of 31 votes to be eligible for election.
Therefore Christopher Keating, Michael Peel, Ashley Van Haeften, Joscelyn Upendran,John Byrne, Roger Bamkin and Doug Taylor have been duly elected to serve as Directors of Wikimedia UK.
James Farrar For and on behalf of the Tellers
Because I do not have access to the membership email list. No doubt Richard will send it to the membership email list at the earliest possible opportunity.
Thank you for your most constructive comments.

Gordon wants to trigger a CiviCRM all-current-members mass e-mail to update all Members of the Charity (i.e., trigger the no-you-can't-really-unsubscribe list).
James has said it'll be done when Richard gets back to the office, probably on Monday.

Aha cheers :-) just checking I hadn't slept through something important again :-p

Thank you for what must be a tedious job; done well.
I'd like to personally thank the tellers for a professional job. I saw some of the negotiation of tricky candidate questions and was aware of some of the choices the tellers has to make on interpreting the process, done without reference back to the board for obvious reasons. Not an easy job for volunteers, and behind the scenes it was done quietly, effectively and impartially.
Cheers, Fae

Which sent me scurrying back to read all the statements of the successful candidates. And I have to say I am very pleased with the look of the board and look forward, with optimism, to great things from them.
Congratulations to those elected.
Can I encourage the same to make sure they have a somewhat decent user page on the WMUK wiki so that anyone wanting to know a bit about the board can easily find some info.
Also, is there a place on the wiki for people to do a write up of events on Saturday? There will be official minutes of the AGM but I'm thinking more of something to give people a sense of the day - more colourful than minutes - for those who were unable to attend. Or perhaps someone can send such in response to this email.

Will try and come up with something, although given that pretty much all of the talks were recorded might be better to link to these and just use text to bring them all together. Any thoughts?

I shot some video footage of the presentations and talks which I'll make available on the wiki / Commons at some point soon. Probably won't be today though.
