Re: [Foundation-l] WMF Board of Trustees meeting agenda
Just adding to what Phoebe said (and sorry to top-post): my recommendations are not finalized and have not been submitted formally to the Board. I don't intend to submit them as-is: they will be shaped by the discussion that's been happening thus far, by my own evolving views, and by input from the Board at its meeting. What I am looking for out of the Board meeting is to get nearer to a consensus WRT what direction we want to take.

Re: [Foundation-l] WMF Board of Trustees meeting agenda
Hi Phoebe, Often the most interesting thing about an agenda is what it omits. So the first board meeting after the SOPA blackout is not going to discuss blackouts, SOPA and lobbying?

This meeting in particular we are trying a slightly different strategy in that we tried to limit the number of topics discussed, so we can go further in-depth for each one. Also, I think broad advocacy discussions will certainly continue for a long time into the future (versus the annual planning and fundraising discussions, which are time-sensitive). phoebe ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
