Hello everyone,

At our meeting today, the Wikimedia DC Board of Directors heard a report from James Hare regarding the Wikimedia New England organizing meeting/meetup that was held on April 22. In light of the report, the Board has adopted the following resolution in support of Wikimedia New England:

1. Wikimedia District of Columbia hereby expresses its support for the establishment of a new Wikimedia chapter in the New England region, to be called Wikimedia New England.  2. The President is instructed to provide, to the extent feasible, such funding, staff, or other assistance as the establishment of Wikimedia New England may require.

3. The Treasurer is authorized to act as a fiscal agent on behalf of the group of individuals seeking to establish Wikimedia New England during the period prior to the incorporation of Wikimedia New England as a legal entity. The Treasurer is instructed to create and maintain separate records for all revenues and expenditures associated with this activity.

We look forward to building a strong collaborative relationship with our New England colleagues!

Cheers, Kirill
