[Foundation-l] UK chapter - thanks and good luck

[joseph seddon]

Lets try this one last time. :)





 
On behalf of the UK community I would like to thank the support and patience
from the board and foundation with regards to the UK community being successful 
in forming a working chapter. I believe that the chapter's member base is stronger
now than it has ever been before. We all hope  to learn from the mistakes and
challenges from the previous incarnation, and that we can build upon the successes 
they had. 
 
The UK is one of the largest contributors to the Wikimedia projects and we hope 
that the chapter can better that in its accomplishments in representing the Foundation 
with in the United Kingdom. We will ensure that we work closely and communicate with
the the Chapters committee, the Foundation office and board and also our sibling chapters
across the globe. 
 
We will hopefully receive pro bono legal advice from within the UK and we will ensure that 
the board is in the best position possible, but if the foundation has any advice to offer, we
would welcome it. Milestones have been set in place to ensure that the momentum we 
have to kept going. It is hoped that incorporation, a bank account, and tax exemption could
be achieved within 6 months if all goes well. We look forward to working with you in the near
future, and even more so to our success.
 
Many thanks again from the UK
