If you have any views or suggestions about the
agreement, please
leave comments on the talk page, or feel free to edit the draft
response itself. I hope that a complete response can be written
before the next board meeting (this coming Tuesday) so that we can
approve it then and get it sent off.
SLOW DOWN! We don't have a lawyer yet. We can't do this until we have
one. Informal discussion between chapters is fine, but we aren't ready
to form a committee to do anything even vaguely official yet.
Well the committee has been formed. We now have to work as best we can
with this commitee to ensure all issues are covered.
I've advised Mike on this in detail, but I'll put a summary here. If
this committee is going to be negotiating with WMF before we've spoken
to a lawyer, then we want to have nothing to do with it.
Thomas, who is "we"? As far as I know, WmUK was one of the many chapters
that mandated the committee, so I am not sure whether "we" is "you
personally" or whether the board's opinion has officially changed.
