EGM 2013

Wikimedia UK will be holding an Extraordinary General Meeting on Saturday 13 April 2013 between 15:30 and 16:30. The EGM will take place at the Conference Centre of the British Library in London, during GLAM-WIKI 2013. This EGM is being held to make a decision on whether to change the voting method used to appoint Trustees, and whether the Board should be expanded to include co-opted trustees. The resolutions that will be presented for decision at this EGM arise from the recent Governance Review and a community request to change the voting system at AGMs.
