[Foundation-l] Britain or Ukraine? What UK stands for in Wikimedia jargon

[Andrew Turvey]

Hi Pavlo, 

I'm glad this issue has risen up here and I'm sure the United Kingdom and Ukraine chapters can come up with something together that solves this to both chapters satisfaction. 

Could we take this offline and start a bilateral discussion rather than doing this via an open mailing list. 

Regards,
