Dear all,
I've just posted some thoughts on our wiki about how we can update some of
our policies around Wikimedians in Residence and circumstances where we
might need volunteers to make declarations of interest. Do let me know what
you think, preferably on-wiki.
Just to follow this up: We need to make sure that we have thought about
some aspects of governance around Wikimedians in Residence, volunteers
holding formal delegated authority by sitting on committees, and how our
work might fit with people running their own independent Wikimedia outreach
projects without reference to Wikimedia UK. Probably the most significant
point is that we think there might be some limited circumstances in which
we need volunteers to tell us about other interests they have, to make sure
that we are only spending our charitable funds in line with our Objects.
At the last meeting the Board thought about some principles I'd drafted,
and indicated they were broadly happy with them. However we would certainly
like more community comments before developing these into fully-fledged
policies. Please do read and comment:

Many thanks,
