The CEO will do it. From http://prospect-us.co.uk/jobs/details/hq00156774 you can see: *"The Chief Executive will also lead on our funding relationships, particularly with trusts and foundations, and develop propositions for donors as we look to diversify our income."* In the absence of any other staff with those responsibilities, it should keep him/her busy. -- Rexx On 12 May 2015 at 16:17, Deryck Chan <deryckchan(a)gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk

I don't want to speak for the WMUK board, but in my experience it would be most unusual to provide a list of names of people whose employment had ceased, at least without the written consent of those who would be named.

Your maths is wrong, Gordo. It appears that only 8 of the 9 posts have been filled internally (and I'm far from happy about that), so we're losing 6 out of 14 staff (43%). -- Rexx

next two weeks. The page seems to be in the process of being updated, see: https://wikimedia.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Staff&diff=65842&oldid=6… It sounds like Katherine Bavage, Toni Sant, Katie Chan, Jonathan Cardy and Fabian Tompsett have been let go, which is really sad news. :-( (Also: Davina Johnson seems to have become a member of staff rather than a contractor? It's not clear what's happened with the tech contractors: they seem to have been removed from the page with no clear answer on their future role...) Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk

The pages are in flux at the moment. There is a heading to say so, and that's the typical nature of a wiki

FWIW I've had no communication about whether the charity wishes to retain my services as a contractor. So your guess is as good as mine :) Tom On 13 May 2015 22:58, "Michael Peel" <email(a)mikepeel.net> wrote:

The period since March has been one of active review, though out of respect for individual staff and to ensure an objective and fair process we have not been providing a public narrative. I can however now announce that the staff discussions, review, appeal periods and subsequent restructure have just been concluded. In order to ensure that the charity is best resourced to deliver impactful projects we have made a number of staff role changes, and the total staff headcount has been reduced from 14 to 9. Initially, 8 positions were proposed, but following full discussions with the staff it has been decided that we do actually require 9. The new organogram can be seen at [1]. The staff page [2] will be updated to reflect the new staffing over the next two weeks. It is always regrettable to have to restructure in a way that loses staff who have contributed much to the charity. We thank the departing staff and wish them all the best. If anyone would like to make personal contact, please note that staff emails and accounts on the UK wiki will continue to be active until month end. I am confident that with the new structure we can be more responsive to new ideas, bringing volunteering into the heart of our projects, and I would encourage you to get involved. Another change in the staffing of the charity is the quest to find our new CEO. We are looking for an ambitious CEO who will provide strategic leadership and supportive management to volunteers and staff alike. They will be working to increase our profile and impact with our partners, engage with the volunteer community and develop our programme activity. A major part of this leadership will be the development of new income streams. We have retained the charity recruiters Prospectus to manage the recruitment process. You can view the recruitment pack at [3]. We expect to make an appointment in early July, and until such time as the new CEO is in post and ready to take over I am honoured to be leading the charity.
