Resolution

edit

The WCA resolves to authorize Wikimedia CH to establish the registration of the legal seat of the Association in Geneva.[1] The WCA further resolves to establish by annual election a rotating Presidency[2] among the member Chapters,[3] as a means of promoting competitive cross-fertilization and decentralized movement growth across the regions of the world.

    While WMAT is officially in favour of Geneva as a global-international city (vs. Brussels as a EU-international city) I like to add that this action now should unlock some of the problems we are facing now, moving forward with searching / hiring a SG etc. Should we have a SG and she/he finds that another place would be more appropriate I see no problem to register elsewhere and move the official seat there. Registering in Geneva now doesn't take us away anything, it's not live-long binding.
