Congratulations to Wikimedia France for undertaking this review and publishing the results.
I believe all of the 3 governance reviews are important reading for anyone involved with the WMF or any of the affiliates, and all have important lessons for the movement. It's interesting to note that this is the first one that touches on the WMF-affiliate relationship in much detail. Also - while so far governance reviews have only happened as a result of a crisis, this doesn't have to be the case! I would urge Wikimedia affiliates to take external advice on their governance, the suggestions offered by governance experts who know the laws, norms and cutlure in which you operate will be very helpful for you.
