Hi Lucy,

For as long as the Chapter has created strategic plans, these have
been published and developed on-wiki, with all the normal benefits of
being open for consultation.

In the light of issues with the local chapter wiki, and the fact that
funding related reports are already published on the (WMF operated)
meta wiki, could the draft be published on meta this time? Doing this
will make it much easier for non-London and even non-UK resident
Wikimedians to provide early feedback. For example, all those active
volunteers that help other WMF Associations with reviewing strategies
and budgets.

P.S. Could you revisit the disclaimer on the UK Chapter email footer?
This states "The Wikimedia projects are run by the Wikimedia
Foundation (who operate Wikipedia, amongst other projects). Wikimedia
UK is an independent non-profit charity with no legal control over
Wikipedia nor responsibility for its contents", which most readers
would presume means that WMUK is independent of the Wikimedia
Foundation, though the Chapters Agreement means that it legally, and
literally, is not.

Thanks,
Fae

This is a key opportunity for volunteers and other stakeholders to input into the development of the charity's future direction, and so we'd love to see as many of you there as possible. We can cover travel costs, subject to prior approval, as we don't want cost to be a barrier to anyone's attendance.

We need to know who's coming so that we can ensure we have a suitably sized space (and pizza), and also so that we can let attendees know of any changes to the schedule or venue. I will be sharing an agenda for the meeting and the draft strategic framework later in the week.
