Trading Agency

"*Wikimedia UK has not discussed how recommending Wikimedia UK certified trainers who may charge a day rate for their services, is effectively turning Wikimedia UK into a agency for these professional services, or at least a professional certification body"

I am somewhat surprised by this:

"We know that some of our members are already delivering professional-quality training. They may think they don't need this weekend event, but it's especially important for them to sign up. It's a chance to:

"1. Get accredited. Being a wiki expert does not necessarily mean you can pass it on to other people: this makes it all the more important that we recognise and appreciate people who have that expertise and also the ability to train.

"2. Share your skills with others.

"3. Help design a training and accreditation programme that serves WMUK in the long term.

"If for whatever reason you aren't included in the initial group, you are not excluded from being an approved trainer in the future."

This was included in the first iteration of the page.
