I believe that the AB should have something to propose and say there, so until it is I am not going to put any proposals forward in this respect. Best On Jun 27, 2017 4:39 PM, "Rogol Domedonfors" wrote: > Are those channels proposed as part of the paper you brought to

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Are those channels proposed as part of the paper you brought to the BGC on the 13th April, then? Or are you ready to discuss them now? Or will the possibility of establishing them be postponed until some time after the Advisory Board is reconstituted? "Rogol" On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 11:14 AM,
