Since it doesn't seem to have been mentioned in this thread already, one of the trustees, Jimmy Wales, has provided some responses on his English Wikipedia talk page. He directly mentions googling and Google. --- I cannot speak for the entire board. As for myself, I was aware (from googling him and reading news reports) that he had a small part in the overall situation when he was told by Eric Schmidt that Google had a policy of not recruiting from Apple, and that a recruiter had done it, and that the recruiter should be fired, and he agreed to do so. As for your other allegations, that he "helped manage that collusion", the part about some "ugly and humiliating" termination, and chastisement by a Federal Judge, I don't (yet) know anything about that.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 09:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC) --- In response to a request to further expand on Mr. Geshuri's suitability to be a trustee: --- Sure, I'll offer my views when the time is right. At the moment, I'm waiting for a staff report and some board discussion to take place. It would be inappropriate for me to offer a public opinion at this early stage.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 08:03, 9 January 2016 (UTC) --- There's also: --- I don't think this board has any unhealthy relationship with Google.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 08:02, 9 January 2016 (UTC) --- Source: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/699004139>.
