Last time, the chapters decided to keep the process very confidential in order to allow free and frank discussion of the candidates. It was felt that it would be good to have confidential discussions, in contrast to the public ones that are associated with the community elected seats, because that might attract different candidates than would stand for the community elected seats (ie. candidates that don't want lots of discussion about every good and bad quality they have happening in public - the selection process can involve a much greater intrusion on privacy than actually serving on the board does). Was it a conscious decision by the chapters to change that approach? I was under the impression that you had decided to stick with the same process we used last time. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
