Chapter formation process
Annual General Meeting and Board elections
We are pleased to annouce that the first AGM of Wikimedia UK v2 will be on Saturday 25th April 2009, starting at 12pm. The AGM will elect a new Board for 2009-10 and debate the priorities of the chapter - including Wikimania if we win the bid! All members can take part in the election or stand for the Board - this page has details of how to join and this page how to stand for the board.
When the initial board was elected in September 2008, we agreed that we would stand down if we hadn't incorporated the company within six months, and we would hold an AGM within six months of incorporation. Despite the delays experienced first in getting chapter approval and then opening the bank account, we are very happy to have met both of these deadlines.
