I understand there is a good deal of frustration among community members who feel dis-empowered to do things because of past event. This task force will be encumbered with making recommendations regarding a single item of focus, BLP, not only to the community but to the board and staff as well, and will be doing so with my full faith and cooperation.
I'm sure you would be an asset to the group, David, and I'd be sorry if this experience prevented valuable people from giving me their name. I'm still going to put forth a great effort in getting this group together--and will do my damnedest to ensure that the group members' efforts are not wasted. - -- Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkp59sEACgkQyQg4JSymDYlZsgCeKp9nVX5hc4QG2sge92VMcwDk 4eYAoKKFhXpqGq+E+ak5xEJDbIi0tmFP =6duD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
