Considering the above, I'm confused by the fact that you are writing
from a wikimedia.org email address, but signing only with your first
name (and with no disclaimer); are you speaking personally, or in your
official capacity as a board member?

Is a "Wikimedian, relying solely on publicly available
information"—any Wikimedian—not entitled to offer an analysis of the
Board's decisions?

And some have very genuine concerns which are not driven by emotion,
and which are based on the available facts and evidence. Please
respect them as such.

I have said for some years that we should stop pretending that this is
an election.
