As agreed in an earlier thread on talk [1] can we have an email list  
for this subject. How about talk-local? Can we have it now!

It seems sensible to set this up and use it and the wiki to work  
things through for a while before considering the need for a  
conference call. If you do make a conference call then please take  
minutes and put them on the new public email list for people to read  
who were not on the call. I don't believe any decisions should be made  
on the conference call. Btw, I notice that there was a call on 24  
August 2009; can the minutes for that meeting be published prior to  
any further call?

Fyi, the 'proposed agreement' on the wiki makes no mention of a  
payment of £10, indeed the finance section starts "Local chapters and  
the OSMF being separate legel entities have their own sources of  
income like membership fees and donations and decide on their own what  
to do with their money. There is no automatic payment of money from  
local chapters to OSMF or vice versa" . Are you referring back to the  
original document? I believe we should all be working from the version  
on the wiki.


Thanks for pushing this forward Nick,


Peter
