I'm going to publicly second (or third, or fifth,) the idea that given Arnnon's role in an incident involving illegal anti-poaching agreements he should either be removed from the board with haste, or the board should publish an incredibly good reason as to why he should remain on it. Keep in mind that Arnnon wasn't a bystander to this scandal, he actively fired a recruiter who failed to follow the terms of an illegal anti-poaching agreement in less than one hour of being informed about it in the first place. I like to think of Wikimedia as a relatively humane movement, and there are very few situations where I'm comfortable with someone who is that comfortable with the idea of firing an employee (who had presumably been there for some time) within sixty minutes of learning the employee didn't follow an illegal agreement having the degree of influence over the movement that members of the Board of Trustees have.
The Wikimedia movement is not a movement whose direction should be set by someone with that degree of callousness - and the fact that he happily participated in the sort of anti-competitive agreement he did, which he must have known was illegal and which exposed his former employers to not insignificant liability, brings forth significant doubt as to whether or not he can reasonably be trusted to carry out his fiduciary duties as a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. ---- Kevin Gorman On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 5:27 AM, Andreas Kolbe <jayen...@gmail.com> wrote: > My apologies.
