Wikimedia UK v1.0 is being dissolved due to difficulties in getting it all set up, so it's time to start work on a new UK chapter. The first task is to select a group of 3-5 people to be the first board of directors and handle all the paperwork of getting the company started (we'll be a ""). The first step in doing that is to get a list of people interested. Please add yourself to the appropriate lists below (if you're in one list, you will want to be in the all the ones below it as well, most likely).

Candidates for the first board

If you want to be on the first board, add your name below. Be advised, being on a board of directors can have significant legal repercussions and should not be entered into lightly. This board will just be concerned with doing the paperwork and signing up the first members, there will then be an AGM to elect a board to get things going properly. Requests for candidate statements, etc., will come later and then we'll have an informal vote.

Guarantor members

If you are interested in being a guarantor member (a legal member of the company), add your name below. This will give you a vote at AGMs. It can have some legal repercussions, so again, should not the entered into lightly (as I understand it, you'll only be liable for a token amount [probably £1] of the companies debts in the event it gets wound up, but nevertheless, I have to warn you!).

Supporting members of the chapter

If you are interested in supporting the chapter, add your name below. This has no legal standing and just shows you support our goals. There will, most likely, be an annual membership fee (concessions available) - the other two lists don't require paying anything. You can be a guarantor member without being a supporting member, but if you can afford the fee, we could use the money!
