[Wikimedia-l] What happened on the Board of Trustees?

Dear all, right now, we know very little about the removal of James. It is hard for anyone not involved (which is the vast majority of this community) to come up with any safe conclusions, because there is a lack of evidence. This opens up the possibility of speculation. I would prefer the

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

Upon hearing of Arnnon's history at Google, I confess to being surprised to the point of a long silence. If these news reports are true, this is disturbing to say the least. Whether he was happy about it or not, it appears that he chose to participate in illegal activity in a prominent role as a

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

I wish the best for the new board, and for the movement. But I am troubled to learn of this. I have always welcomed the appointed seats on the board--in my experience they brought useful perspectives and experience with their view from the outside, and I don't expect them all to begin their

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

I've worked with Jan-Bart for three years, and I too want to thank him for his many years of service to the movement and the board, as well as to the annual plan grant program and to the Funds Dissemination Committee! As one of the Board FDC representatives to the FDC for several years,

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

Now this is something that's worthy of being dismissed (involuntarily, if necessary) from the WMF board. This individual clearly does not meet our community values of transparency and honesty, or at least such is in serious question. Is the Board considering doing so, or reading this at all? It's

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

You'll find the allegations to be true, Dariusz. Although the link provided was just to Pando, the internal email from Arnnon was released by court order - and the entire anti-solicitation fiasco has been fairly widely covered in the US tech news. I knew I recognized Arnnon's name from

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

Maybe here the best is to wait a bit for the WMF to come with a response, before piling on - unless you actually have information to contribute. Pile-on threads seem to lead these days to the original questions being ignored/forgotten about. Lodewijk On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 11:33 PM, Todd Allen

Goodness, yes. Lodewijk, what a fitting thread. We spend more time reflecting on mistakes made, but JB and Stu were often responsible for the things that were done well, and without fanfare. They could always be relied upon to consider the impact of decisions on the movement and society, and
