As a cross-reference it may be interesting to note here the Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct policies that the Wikimedia UK board applies to its own trustees. These have recently been updated to ensure compliance with current charity governance best practice recommendations: Trustee

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF Conflict of Interest Policy

Ok - I would be really surprised if WMF have discussed Google in their executive sessions either - given the difficulties around staff and strategy they probably haven't had five minutes to mention Google, even if they wanted to. So the most economical hypothesis is that the reason Denny hasn't

[Wikimedia-l] Strategic planning

All: With the expiration of the 2011-2015 Strategic Plan, many of us are interested in future strategic planning efforts. With that in mind (and as part of a series of interviews I'm doing to celebrate Wikipedia Day), I interviewed Eugene Eric Kim, who designed the community engagement process

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Thank you, Jan-Bart and Stu

End of an era. It was a pleasure to work with JB and Stu. I'd like to echo the amusement about them being "outsiders". At the time when Stu was appointed, he was an editor and has been on the foundation-l pulse for extended amount of time and was the only board member interested in the

@NYB: at least one major pension fund has ongoing litigation related to the nonsolicit, so I agree with you Arnnon is unlikely to be able to comment publicly. Best, KG On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 9:29 AM, Newyorkbrad wrote: > It would be great if we could have Arrnon's input

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF trustee Arnnon Geshuri and part in anticompetitive agreements in Google

Can someone on the Board comment on the Board's general approach to vetting Trustee candidates? I would hope that someone neutral is explicitly responsible for reviewing candidates and providing at least a cursory report to the Board on their background, qualifications, and any potential

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF trustee Arnnon Geshuri and part in anticompetitive agreements in Google

It would be great if we could have Arrnon's input and perspective on the events that have caused the concern raised in this thread. However, it's been stated that major shareholder litigation involving the issue is still pending. If that is so, it is very unlikely that he's going to be able to

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF Conflict of Interest Policy

As a "non-technical" Wikimedian, I too would welcome a discussion, starting with the basics, of what the project formerly known as the "Knowledge Engine" is, or might become, and the pros and cons of the WMF focusing major resources on it. (Perhaps best to put have that discussion in a new

Hello, everyone. It occurs to me this might be a good time to recycle this piece of advice I have had some past occasions to offer some newcomers to the movement: *So you've made a mistake and it's public...* Step 0: Understand that there is no point in pretending you have not made a mistake.
