Hi all,
It is with regret that I announce that Paul Williams (Skenmy) is
leaving the WMUK Board for personal reasons.
This obviously leaves a vacancy on the board between now and the next
AGM, which we would like to fill if a suitable candidate can be
found. Who would be interested in joining the Board until the next
AGM (24 April)?
The legal duties and the eligibility criteria for being on the board
are described at:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees#Duties
You would be expected to attend the board meetings online, which
currently take place fortnightly by Skype. You would also participate
in the organization of the various initiatives that are currently
being planned, and the development of future initiatives, as well as
the forthcoming AGM. Whether the role of 'volunteers director' is
kept has not yet been decided; in general however there is a lot of
freedom to focus on what you're interested in, or help out with bits
of everything, rather than being tied to specific areas.
If you are interested, please email the board at
board(a)wikimedia.org.uk . A brief background of yourself would be
useful, as would a description of what you would like to achieve by
being on the Board. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to
ask me or any of the other current (or past) board members
Thanks,
Mike Peel
