Subject: Agreement between local chapters and Foundation Newsgroups: gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation Date: 2006-12-11 17:38:34 GMT (2 years, 29 weeks, 3 days, 17 hours and 25 minutes ago) The resolution concerning the agreement between local chapters and WMF may be found here: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Agreement_between_chapters_and_Wikimedia_Foundation More interesting is the agreement itself: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Agreement_between_chapters_and_Wikimedia_Foundation The agreement proper was essentially drafted by the local chapters coordinator, Delphine Ménard, the UK chapter, Alison Wheeler and our GC, Brad Patrick. That's a good step ! ---------- A few comments * http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Local_chapters needs update **for example, it still refers to Serbian chapter as S&M chapter **≤small>and the UK chapter is not mentionned</small> * At the board retreat, guidelines for chapter creation were drafted, but the draft was never finalized. The board agreed to have the guidelines validated asap, but can not do it until the guidelines are actually put down on paper (well, wiki). So, there are still no guidelines for creation. Can the chapter committee give us a date when the guidelines will be ready ? * There is still pending an agreement for commercial use of the trademarks by the chapters. Let us be realistic, it should not be expected before a while, because commercial use of the trademarks in general first need to be analysed and assessed. Let's talk about it in a couple of months when the work on trademarks themselves is basically done. Florence Devouard Wikimedia Foundation Chair |
