For Paul Adendorff to review
This page is waiting for Paul Adendorff to check it. It is published now so that he can see how it fits with the rest of the site. Until he has approved the text, it may change. Questions for him:
- Is “Treasurer, Genadendal Transformasie Komitee” the role you would like the wiki to use? If not, what wording do you prefer?
- Since when have you been the Komitee’s treasurer? Do you hold other roles in the valley that the page should name?
- A judgment of the Western Cape High Court in 2019 names you as the Komitee’s treasurer. May the page cite it as the source for your role? The page would not describe the case.
- Is there work of yours in the valley, such as a sector of the Komitee’s plan or a project, that you would like the page to describe?
- Are there wiki pages you have checked or given material for?
- Should readers reach you through the moderators, or would you like a public contact listed?
