Alison made an
interesting point about it being a good idea if
all intial Board members
had lived in the same place for three years,
weren't private
renters, had bills in their
own name, were in full time employement, had no
CCJs and were UK
passport holders.
I wouldn't want any of these to be a
requirement for someone to
be a Board member
and I don't think it would be fair to
introduce this at this
stage, but I've added it as a
Wikimedia_UK_v2.0/Candidate_questions
as it might be useful for voters.
I want to clarify and support alison's point, this is the correct
advice to follow so that we
can get a bank account. Alison is very right in that the banks will
expect most of this of signatories
opening a bank account. Prehaps not all, but certainly most of what
she has said.
Do you have a feel for which of these banks will expect, and to what
degree? As someone that lives in two places (parent's home and rented
accommodation) and has bills at the latter, and is a postgraduate
student (i.e. on the fuzzy line between student and employee), but
meets the other two points, I'm wondering if I fall between too many
lines to be useful on the initial board.
