Congratulations from me as well to both Kelly and Arnnon. I wonder if they'll take the plunge and subscribe here? =) But without in any way questioning their good faith, dedication and fitness for the job (and it is good to see another female appointed), I have to say that I also feel this is a

Dear Board, I'm deeply grateful that the past, current and new members of the Board have dedicated the 10 hours/week and more to our cause, and both as people and Board functionaries I wish them the best and much success in their lives. However, the Board as an entity which has energetically

Dear Anthony, The community elected Denny knowing that he worked at Google . If this was an additional conflict of interest taken on after his election then

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing new Wikimedia Foundation Trustees

Is Denny recusing from all discussions and decisions that might affect Google, broadly construed, including decisions involving WikiData? I'm glad to see two people with Kelly's and Arnnon's expertise on the board. Anthony Cole On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 8:53 PM, Andrew Gray

Kelly and Aronnon, I will be happy to meet you in meat space at Wikimania in Italy next summer. In a context where Stu is leaving the board, Kelly expertise will indeed reveal very precious. I am well aware a veteran financial expertise is one critical and difficult to find. I doubt not Stu

This is all fascinating and concerning. Most concerning to me is the presence on the board of someone actually on Google's payroll right now. How can Denny not be fatally conflicted in all - or most - board deliberations that involve broad strategy - especially but not only to do with WikiData?

Congratulations to Kelly and Arnon in joining the wikiverse at this crucial time in our movement's existence. I hope their expertise - respectively in Finance and HR - will be able to be put to good use! However, I do have a concern about diversity... Both of these appointees are white Americans
