Re: [Wikimedia-l] Changes in the Board

Patricio, et al Are we any closer to having public comments from the BoT on how the Arrnon debacle was able to occur? I am especially interested in how Boryana fits in with this. Given Boryana's shared history t Telsa with Arnnon, she would surely have known about Arnnon's past at Google, but it

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Changes in the Board

Hi Josh, I agree there are solid improvements to be made with respect to recruiting of our trustees, and with partnering with our community. Perhaps the election committee can play a role in checking out the finalists, for example. On-boarding trustees and leadership is a critical process,
