Personally, I would rather not rely on the WMF's ability to guage UK community opinion. It's not easy to guage the opinion of a community you aren't a member of. > If you’re not convinced by this, how about a third amendment: > > > > “The board may not itself terminate the Chapters Agreement or amend it in > any way such that Wiki UK Limited looses the right to the trademark > Wikimedia UK.” That's better. I prefer my version, though. There is no need for a consensus on this, we can vote at the AGM. (You propose an amendment to my motion, we vote on that amendment. If 50% agree to amend it, then we require 75% to agree to implement the amended version, otherwise we require 75% to agree to implement to original version.) > > To reiterate, the reason why we want some flexibility to change it is that > Mike has indicated all agreements will be being harmonised in the future and > there are many other small details which may change over time (termination > procedure, commercial operations, visual guidelines, licenses to “Wikimedia > [Sub-region/country]” etc etc.) Are any of those likely to be urgent changes that can't wait until the next AGM? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
