Q3 report card

A summary of how Wikimedia UK is doing against its KPIs is now available. If you want more detail, there's a link at the top of the page to the charity's report to the FDC. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 10:51, 18 November 2014 (GMT)

Posting of 2014 AGM minutes

Have the minutes for the 2014 Annual General Meeting been posted? The meeting was a long time ago now so they probably should have been. I can't presently locate them. Also, the 2013 AGM Minutes are still categorised as awaiting approval, though as far as I'm aware they were approved at the 2014 AGM. CT Cooper · talk 23:08, 18 November 2014 (GMT)

My apologies not they have not yet been posted, though they should have been. We have had some problems getting minutes out in a timely way in recent months and I hope to be able to get AGM minutes out fairly shortly. This is not the usual timeframe and I know it's not good enough. The delay in getting minutes out has been reflected in the reduced transparency score the Board recorded in its recent self-assessment. Mccapra (talk) 13:59, 20 November 2014 (GMT)

Thank you for your quick response. I don't need them urgently, I was just curious as to where they were. I look forward to seeing the minutes posted soon though. CT Cooper · talk 16:19, 20 November 2014 (GMT)

Chief Executive search

I've just posted a page with the draft job description and person specification for our next Chief Executive. A working group from the Board has drafted this but we are keen to get views from the community prior to finalising the job description in two weeks' time! Please have a look and let us know what you think. The Land (talk) 12:37, 11 January 2015 (GMT)

Applications for the permanent CEO role are now being accepted via the agency. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:32, 6 February 2015 (GMT)

The deadline for applications is 23rd February. Fabian Tompsett (WMUK) (talk) 17:34, 12 February 2015 (GMT)

Things are moving along with the Chief Executive recruitment process - Just a reminder: The deadline for applications is February 23rd.

We are continuing to discuss the format of the selection process, one element of which will be a short (likely ~10 minute) presentation.

** I’d like to invite suggestions for presentation-prompts here **

We have some ideas of course, but I think people had conversations very relevant to this at the volunteer strategy day in Birmingham. I can build off some of the thoughts there for ideas, but others may be feeling more creative, or have better memories(!). Thoughts welcome here or via email Sjgknight (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2015 (GMT)
