As it looks like many of us are planning to be in Birmingham (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Birmingham) it would be a good use of time to hold a business meeting then too. However, it may be worth holding the meeting an hour or so earlier than the not-yet-advertised start time of the meetup so that we can rapidly make decisions on the items that need to be agreed before we incorporate.

As far as I can see all that remains is: (1) to agree changes to agree changes to the articles and memorandum of association (I think we are still awaiting Diane Cabell's report on the articles); (2) finalise a name (or has this been done); (3) choose an initial board (who can deal with registering a a charity, setting up gift aid, signing a copyright deal with the foundation, writing the bylaws for different membership categories, opening a bank account and setting up the first AGM); and (4) agree a time and place when enough of us can meet with a solicitor to sign the articles.

There has been suggestion that next business meeting should coincide with Birmingham "Wikipedia meet up" on Saturday, 21st January 2006.

We probably need to meet up once more, either on IRC or in personal to agree all the documents, names, etc for incorporation.

Any thoughts?
