Meetings/2009-07-07/Agenda/Secretary's Report

1. I received an email from the Wikimedia Foundation saying our bid for a grant for £5,000 has been successful. I forwarded an edited summary to WikimediaUK-L.
2. Given that we are now able to apply direct to the Charity Commission I rang them for advice. They said we need to apply within a reasonable time of receiving the money as we are legally obliged to register if we are a charity and have sufficient income.
3. We received a programme from Manchester Conferences - after discussing with Seddon, I've kept it here.
4. I've rung Ian Hawkins regarding his request for an interview to feature in his film on alternative forms of democracy. He will be interviewing me on either 18th or 25th July.
5. Following a discussion with Steve Virgin, I've emailed WMUK-L to request volunteer speakers and started wiki pages at Speakers and http://board.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Speakers.
6. I have been approached by Wikimedia Indonesia, requesting help with translating "letters of introduction" they are requesting from the Foundation Discuss
