The UK's chapter agreement (different chapters have slightly different agreements, and I believe WMDE doesn't have an agreement at all and just operates under tradition and convention) includes the clauses: "1. The Chapter shall supply a written activity and financial report in English at least once a year to the Foundation, within four months of each Chapter year-end. 2. The Foundation shall supply a written activity and financial report from the Foundation Board in English to the Chapter within four months of each Foundation year-end." I'm not sure how good chapters are at actually sending those reports. I know the UK isn't as good as it ought to be with activity reports. The UK has only just finished its first financial year and is in the process of sorting out the report, which will be send to the Foundation when it is ready. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
