Thanks, Kat, for that very clear explanation.

The advisory board basically never gets used as a group (and IMO it
wouldn't really make sense to). In my experience, people named to the

Asaf, thank you for sharing your experience.
Your input to this discussion is certainly valuable. And it is not actually

OK. I see "Advisory Board members will be appointed for a term commencing
on the day of appointment until the conclusion of the first in-person Board
meeting in the following year, unless otherwise declined, revoked or

As far as I heard, the WMF employees and Board use the advisory board
according to their need. Sometimes they are share their thoughts as a team,
sometimes individually, according to their expertise.
I have mentioned to an adviser once that it would be better to have a group
submission from the Wi
There was a while back actually a question whether it still exists - given
that no reappointments have taken place.
But from what I heard, the appropriate response would probably be something
like "with extreme moderation".

MZMcBride, that is an *excellent* find -- I had forgotten that it was
articulated as a formal policy. I have now updated my blog post on the
topic with a link to that email:

Perhaps Lisa can tell us whether that policy was ever rescinded?

My guess is that the first step here is to identify who would have access

Given the history, but also the absolute bungling mess and total lack of
professionalism that the board has shown since these events, you will find,
