its not difficult to dress mutton up as lamb consider if you will This person has considerable experience in HR and collaborative efforts with most of the largest multinational technology companies. Was instrumental in the development of a cross industry HR process that ensured employees looking to change between companies werent pressured into revealing projects and propriety developments as part of the recruitment process.
it like having a COI policy based on how much one owns of a company rather how dependent one is on a company for their income, one person owning 10% of x may have less than 1% of their overall investments in X, where as someone with less than 1% may have 75% investments in X so therefore X is more critical. Another person may have no investment in X but be employed a supplier to X and derive their whole income from that which person is more likely to act with a COI. It's a rhetorical question because each can choose not to, the only measure that should consider is whether the people will act in the best interest of WMF/community within the standards we expect from trustees of the community... most of us can identify a number of trusted(highly trusted) contributors that divided the community over whats acceptable standards and expectations and the resulting conflicts that occurred Regardless of the selection process whether through a professional HR company or a community consultation it is concerning that someone named as defendant in a substantive court matter would be recommended for a position of trust with a charity before the matter was resolved especially considering that an associated court action found that wrong doing had taken place.
