The board has discussed it for the last 6 (weekly) meetings, although it was decided that those minutes should be kept private due to the timing of Karen's announcement. While it is unprecedented, I think that most of those minutes should now be made public. I realize that I didn't make it very clear when I let everyone know, but I purposefully waited until after the 3.12 release before announcing. It's such an awesome release we didn't want my news to distract at all (this decision was made in consultation with our core engagement team). I have also suggested that we consider delegating to a committee as the board is not generally in the business of hiring employees, as has been done before, but it has not been decided how we will proceed. I think the board could form a committee and it would be a fine way to go. The board does have the ultimate responsibility for choosing a hire and while they should seek all of the expertise they need in making the decision, the people who are elected by the GNOME community are ultimately the ones to choose. :) It may make sense depending on the candidates who step forward to handle the decision differently. karen Today's agenda will touch on accessing whether we should hire an executive director from a financial point of view and what the best timing would be.

Perhaps a naive question, but I would have expected discussion of hiring a new ED - is that being handled in a separate hiring committee?
