Re: [Wikimedia-l] New Elections Committee

Hi Gerard, I agree with you that there are many important issues, and as you mentioned one of them is the quality of our products and services. However, I am keenly aware of governance issues at WMF and how they affect the rest of the ecosystem. WMF is a single point of failure (an issue which I
