James, thank you for making a public statement. It sets a healthy tone for good governance and transparency of how interests are managed.
Does anyone know if WMF board members will ever be required to make public statements about perceived conflicts of loyalties, or indeed actual commercial conflicts of interest? It may be a good subject for the Wikimedia Foundation Board Governance Committee to set down a best practice for.
