Wikimedia Foundation committees organizing, starting work

The Wikimedia Foundation has begun the process of developing more of an organizational structure, with several meetings being held recently to spur this along. The new framework is already beginning to produce some results.

Part of this evolution in Wikimedia's development involves the creation of eleven committees that would deal with various aspects of the Foundation's work. These committees include Financial, Technical, Executive, Events, Communications, Special projects, Board expansion, Chapters, Audit, Insurance, and Trademarks. The committees were authorized in a series of resolutions passed by the Board of Trustees last month.
