It isn't primarily about reasons for the removal, and in fact only
partly touches on that topic. It's primarily about why I th

Apparently referring to James's removal, Jimbo has called for "full
publication of the details." [2]

Hi all -
Maria's appointment should be viewed as a replacement to that of Arnnon
Geshuri. I like her, and I think she'd stand a fair chance in a community
election, but she is not and cannot be described as a community selected
trustee at present. It's perfectly possible for boards to have membe

Yes, we are in agreement. Maria is an 'Appointed Trustee', not a
'Community Selected Trustee'. So the number of 'Appointed Trustees'
went up by one, the number of 'Community Selected Trustees' went down
by one.
For political convenience, the WMF board is spinning her seat on the
board as if she we
It may be that at this point, reinstating James would not be a terribly
feasible idea, even if it is a nice thought. And, well, it's a volunteer
position. I wouldn't blame him at all if he's no longer even willing to
serve in that role.
I think, however, that the suggestions that have been put for
Patricio's email on the topic makes it quite clear that María was appointed
to the seat vacated by James Heilman:

And, as we are all aware, James was himself appointed as the result of an
election. Unless the relevant aut

While it's nice to think that everyone might be able to kiss and make up,
the trustees (particularly Jimmy) and James have been mauling each other
politely in public for the best part of two months. I don't think it's
realistic to expect that everything can just go back to the way it was, and

Reinstatement *now* would be an extra drama. The board must simply be
ready to see him "selected" again by the community.
Those events opened almost every door and every window of our ecosystem:
focusing our attention on "names" is a waste of time now. Now it's time
to focus on strategy, ideas
If the board can not back up Jimmy's assertion he has removed for cause, I
am pretty confident the community will 'select' James again, just as soon
as they are given an opportunity.

While reinstating James Heilman (or rather, appointing him as replacement
of Arnnon - I am assuming this is your suggestion?) may be a decision that
is popular with a significant part of the community, I am uncertain how

I'm responding to an off-list comment I received to clarify that my email

It's quite possible that there were other trustees pushing down the right

Hi all -
I understand that this idea has been discussed on other currently active
threads, but in my opinion, it deserves a separate thread. To an informed
observer, it was pretty obvious why James was removed to begin with, and to
a casual observer, I'm guessing it's become obvious. It would be
