Hi Mike,
Sure. Both were open discussions, and no decisions were taken or specific
proposals developed. And neither topic is in any way limited to being a
"board discussion": both are broad-ranging topics concerning all of us. We

Thanks for sharing indeed!
I find the community council idea very interesting (some might recall that
proposals have surfaced over time that could be covered by such a name).
Given the topic, I'm going to assume here that this topic will be brought
up for community discussion before anything like

I add my voice to that of Cooper concerning the criteria of choosing the

It is so that there is (theoretically) no question when we are
operating as a staff versus operating as volunteers.

I honestly do not know the numbers, though I'd wager "most" is close to

Dear Wikimedians,
On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2015 selection Jury Committee, we have
accepted the proposal from Mexico DF to host. The proposal will be further

Most accounts of staff and contractors do not get that usergroup: it is
a very highly privileged group that includes pretty much every
permission on every wiki, and access to it is on a strictly-needed basis.

Preferable for the affiliation to be a variable linked to the username. It
can then be changed if/when applicable. Is should be possible to link a
string of affiliations to a username. User should be able to add
