First, let me apologize for writing in English. A copy of the draft bylaws for the The Wikinewsie Grouphttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Grouphave been posted at The Wikinewsie Group/Bylawshttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Bylaws. Alongside these, a Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Journalistshttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Declaration_of_the_Rights_and_Duties_of_Journalistshave also been posted, which detail our understanding of concepts found in the draft bylaws. Feedback would be appreciated on these.

Hi,
I apologize if I am not writing in the language of the list I am e-mail. We are planning to have a meeting on IRC either on the first or second weekend of May to select the provisional board of The Wikinewsie Group. The meeting will be in English and Spanish. We encourage all interested parties to go to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Meetings and indicate their preferred meeting time. If you are interested in being on the board, we also encourage you to sign up or let one of the meeting chairs know so they can put your name before the community.
Additional details are available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Meetings . If you know anyone who may be interested in joining, please encourage them to visit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group and put their name in the participants section.
