1) (What groups...) I have a few memberships, but am not active in anything except WMUK.
2) I was asked to run last year, after, like much of the current board, becoming active in WMUK through Liam Wyatt's period as Wikipedia-in-residence at the British Museum, which fitted very well with my existing areas of editing. I was not elected then (by one vote), but was asked to progress the Registered Charity application with Steve Virgin, which has kept me in touch with some areas of the board's work. Just recently I agreed to assist with the Treasurer's role (off the board), and have agreed that I would be ready to act as Treasurer if elected and then selected as that. I have attended some board meetings and feel I would be able to make a positive contribution.
3)That is probably a question I should be asking you, in fact I think I have in the past!
