Dear Yann Thank you for your interest! I also appreciated Phoebe's blog post and could at least imagine something like this for Wikimedia CH in the future. The difference between us and them is that the trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation are important because they are at the core of a global movement and there is a good distribution of different expertise. Their governance and strategic thinking is more advanced in comparison to a chapter like WMCH where the Board until recently managed all day-to-day tasks. Before Sue Gardner came as ED, the WMF looked much else as well, although I can't remember this time very well. What's currently important on our side is to improve the General Assembly and update outdated informations on the website. These are opportunities to share more visions, and are already a step forward. I know that you have a professional expertise in this area, so maybe we can once have a dialogue on this.

The first post, from Vice Chair Phoebe Ayers, is an introduction to the Board, its mandate, and its work within the community. You can find that post at https://<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/01/13/introduction-to-the-board-of-trustees/> blog.wikimedia.org<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/01/13/introduction-to-the-board-of-trustees/> /2014/01/13/introduction-to-the-board-of-trustees/<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/01/13/introduction-to-the-board-of-trustees/> Board members will take turns publishing one or two new posts every month, where they will explore ongoing initiatives of the Board and discuss topics relevant to the movement and the Wikimedia community. We hope you'll enjoy these posts, and also that you'll take time to comment, offer suggestions, and get involved in a dialog with the Board of Trustees.
