As I understood it when we were signing off the organizational
strategy, we set up a separate legal entity to manage/own QRpedia so
that WMUK would not have to be responsible. Considering the
significant number of non-Wikimedia GLAM organizations that have
invested in this QR technology on the presumption that QRpedia will be
a reliable and simple mobile service, we may be overdue properly to
unhook QR Pedia from the local UK chapter and instead make it a
separate international GLAM organization with funding from more
diverse sources.

Should WMUK be diverted to other things, or say, end up having no
staff to handle GLAM outreach or coordinate on technical problems,
then the board of QRpedia should be free to have their own
GLAM-stakeholder-agreed support plans which may be dependent on the
WMF and its funding, or not.

Thanks for chipping away at this Andy. When the handful of us involved
in the set up are no longer following QRpedia issues, I suspect it
would remain submerged permanently below the waterline.

Cheers,
Fae
