Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update from the Board

I am not satisfied at all by this update. I have the feeling the Board want to wait until the community cools down. The boar was very fast in kicking out James for no obvious reason. But for removing Arnnon Geshuri (per community consensus, after a lot of drama) weeks are needed. The Board and

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update from the Board

Alice, et al Ars Technica have now reported on Arnnon's statement, and your statement.[1] Their previous article[2] touches on the Meta discussion. Le Monde has also published an article on this debacle,[3] as a result of the original Ars Technica piece. Please take the time to read the comment

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update from the Board

May I ask a question: Do you think it's ethical to ignore community demand for an explanation or a statement for *three weeks *and then issue a statement just within *three hours* after the story publishes in BBC ? Is publicity and public image of WMF

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update from the Board

Hi Alice, thanks for the update. It's been quite a while - and you don't seem to give a clear time table for further updates. The silence is damaging, and I hope it goes away quickly, allowing some honest conversation. I can understand that you want full information, but please also note that the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update from the Board

Alice and Arnnon, Thank you for your recent messages and your efforts to grapple with these issues. I have two questions which have been much discussed; perhaps you can provide clarification, so we can better understand the process? On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 12:14 PM, Alice Wiegand wrote: > Kelly
