This policy outlines certain matters relating to the right to represent Wikimedia Canada.
Representation generally edit

This may be done by indicating consent on the appropriate page of this wiki.

- Every director of Wiki Canada shall be entitled to an e-mail address at "wikimedia.ca"
- Any three directors of Wiki Canada may grant any other persons an e-mail at "wikimedia.ca" by indicating consent on the appropriate page of this Wiki.

- Any e-mail address may be suspended or revoked by the appointed officer(s) with that right or by resolution of the board.
