Declarations of Interest/Archive

This page holds the historical record of Declarations of Interest from past trustees and staff.

2012-13

Roger Bamkin

• Roger was a paid consultant for Monmouthshire County Council and Nottingham Museums. He also runs a company, Victuallers Ltd. As documented in Wikipedia and elsewhere Roger, like everyone else, has IPR rights over things that he has invented, developed or written. e.g. Before Roger became a board member he developed QRpedia with Terence Eden. These interests were declared to the members before the last election.
• Roger's associations with other companies and councils in the past are well documented on-line.
• At the end of June Roger signed a contract with the Government of Gibraltar. There is no known COI as WMUK does not have a relationship with this Government but it is hoped that one may develop. Roger has a business relationship with John Cummings and Steve Virgin. The contract includes the delivery of training and the creation of QRpedia plaques - there is no paid editing involved.
• Roger is part of a successful Geovation bid with Andy Mabbett, Robin Owain and John Cummings. This means that he is likely to be talking to many councils in Wales.
• Roger is receiving £100 from De Montfort University, Leicester for talking about Wiki-Town and new business models and will receive free accommodation when talking at Oxford University in October 2012.

Joscelyn Upendran
