Hello again, perhaps you could set up a named account here that openly matches the name you use elsewhere? It was publicly announced on the blog in November 2011 <http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2011/11/uk-attendees-attending-wikiconference-india-2011/>. The amounts paid were only for economy flights and accommodation (using the hotel recommended by the event organizers) in line with the expenses policy. I vaguely recall this was in the order of an average of 500 quid a head, but it varied and in one case the cost was low because the volunteer paid for their own flight to India and we only paid for in-country travel expenses. These should appear in the public accounts which have been approved. As there is likely to be some interest in ferreting through our accounts to find material to challenge the charity, we probably should put out a blog post linking to them for anyone that interested. I will send a note to the Exec Committee suggesting it. --Fæ (talk) 09:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
