The Steering Committee is a small group of people who are working to found and incorporate the Wikimedia Canada project. They will act as the legal board of directors until the first AGM after incorporation. Their duties are limited to the following:
- Work to incorporate WMC and register it as a legal charity.
- At least four of these people will become the legal board of directors until the first annual general meeting. The people on the initial board can appoint the rest (four directors can appoint a fifth, and if there are five initial ones, they can appoint two more).
- Set up a bank account, paypal account, and any other means necessary to collect dues from members.
- Create a website for the organization.
- Advertise a membership drive, collect money and names from members, and maintain a list of paying members.
- Organize an annual general meeting via an online forum or chatroom at which members can elect a new Board (steering committee members may run to be on the new board).
The actual members of this group will be decided at an upcoming meeting.
