Greetings and all things positive to dream your dreams into reality for 2011.

Thank you to all for keeping the momentum going and sincerest apologies for not being able to make any contribution till nowe. I'm able to give input on resolving some of the comments and revert over the weekend once I've gone through the document thoroughly.

Could we consider setting time to do a skype chat/meeting on January 15th and look at, 10 talking points to conclude the packaging and submission process to Chapcom and registration? We can allocate time for discussing and concluding each point. 10 action steps to achieve for 2011 and establish broader Wikimedia ZA presence?

Have a good weekend

Hello everyone

I have resolved some of the comments. After I have resolved these issues I have moved them to the archive: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AWikimedia_South_Africa%2F...

I need help in solving the other comments, because most of them should be discussed. One person can’t just decide on them. Attached is a document with the comments from Tobias. I have changed the colour of the comments I have already resolved to gray. I copied the mailinglists just to keep them up to date.

I think it would be a good idea to attach a document with notes when we send the documents to ChapCom (as Kerryn suggested).

Kind regards,

Lourie

I quickly browsed through the comments. I am happy to see that Tobias answered the questions in good detail!

I have putted Tobias’ comments on a completely new page on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_South_Africa/Tobias_comments

This way everyone could see the comments. We can now implement each of the comments into the documents and then just move that individual comment to the archive. This way things will start to clear up and then no one could say we did things without their knowledge. When we are finished completely with the documents we can create a PDF and send it to ChapCom.

I am going to start tonight already to sort the issues out. Let’s see how this idea works.

Hi Lourie and David

As we're trying to *clean* up final docs, I wonder if we shouldn't just comment on Tobias's word doc where he has put his comments and suggestions ... ? Unless you're thinking of putting his comments onto meta and then responding there?

I'm not sure how we're going to clean up the documents as its getting pretty confusing with *seeing* what is what.

I think we will eventually have to take it off meta because we need to package - perhaps as a pdf - and send off to ChapCom? ... any suggestions ...

Cheers

K

Hi

Thanks for the documents Kerryn. I have arrived this afternoon at Stellenbosch, so I will take a look at the documents tomorrow. Is it okay with you guys if we continue such as in the previous case and place our comments and changes on Meta? That way everything would stay in one place where everyone could see it.

Kind regards Lourie

Hi there

Wishing you a very happy new year and all the best for 2011.

I have attached Tobias's responses to the queries and comments that were put onto meta with regards the Articles and Memorandum.

Please read through this answers; I think that they respond well to the queries. What we could do is put these on as Notes on the bottom of each page, on the hard copy, as they are not really for inclusion but are explanation for people such as Effeitsanders, when reading and approving these at ChapCom.

Please let me know if you are happy with them.

We will need to compile a package for sending to ChapCom, which in my mind should include the following:

1. Proposed articles of association
2. Memorandum of incorporation
3. Long-term objectives
4. Short term objectives
5. Appointment of directors ? ( I haven't been keeping updated with

this process so not sure where we are?)

Lourie and I have spoken briefly this morning and we suggested that perhaps we should have a final Skyp/gchat meeting and invite all the mailing list where we can discuss the putting together of the package, and other things and also when this package will go off to ChapCom.

Regards

Kerryn
