Wikimedia UK trustees have a duty to make their conflicts of interests known, and to abstain from decisions where those conflicts may influence the decisions they make on behalf of the charity. This page documents the declarations of interest that the current trustees have made. WMUK staff may also use this page to declare conflicts of interest that they have that may influence the advice they provide to the Board.
Some interests may exceptionally need to be declared in a confidential manner. These are recorded on the office wiki, and the Chief Exec will have been made aware of them and will flag resulting issues as needed.
Situations where interests have been declared and managed are recorded in the minutes of board meetings.
General guidance for managing declarations of interests for charity trustees can be found here.
Trustees
Roger Bamkin
- Roger is 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.
Michael Peel
- Mike is an employee of the University of Manchester. Some of our activities take place at this University, and he will abstain on all decisions relating to the University of Manchester.
- Non-COI disclaimer: Mike is a admin on the English Wikipedia, and is an editor on a number of other Wikimedia projects. He uses Single User Login to unify his accounts on all WMF-hosted wikis. His edits on this wiki are a mix of edits made on behalf of the charity (in his role as Secretary), and those made on his own behalf; unless clearly stated otherwise, edits are made on his own behalf. All edits that are associated with his account and are made to any wiki aside from this one are unambiguously made on his behalf, and do not represent the charity.
- Non-COI disclaimer: Mike is subscribed to a number of closed-subscription mailing lists as a result of being a WMUK trustee. These include internal-l (the internal Wikimedia mailing list), the chapters mailing list (restricted to employees and staff of Wikimedia chapters) and wmfcc-l (the "Communications Committee"). He also uses his WMUK email address to subscribe to a number of public mailing lists. Emails send to these lists represent his individual viewpoint unless it is made clear in those emails that they represent the charity.
Doug Taylor
Although now mainly retired, there are some areas where I may still retain a financial interest, or may appear to have an interest that could potentially conflict:
- I used to have a part of UHY Hacker Young, our auditors, as a client for my company over four years ago.
- I may still carry out some work for Metropolis 2 Ltd.
- I am Chair of the Board of Trustees of the charity, Job Change, and Chair of the social enterprise, Job Change 2007.
- I am Vice-Chair of the Regulations Committee of OCR.
- My directorships, past and present, may be viewed at http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/903881846
Joscelyn Upendran
- Joscelyn is Public Project Lead for Creative Commons in the United Kingdom.
Staff
Richard Symonds, Office Manager
- Richard holds Checkuser and Oversight rights on the English Wikipedia, and has a knowledge of private cases due to his time on the 'Arbitration Committee'. He only uses these rights in his volunteer capacity, and never participates in any actions against or in support of known Wikimedia UK members.
