[Wikimedia-l] Re: Welcoming María Sefidari as a Foundation consultant. :)
Dear Amanda, Thank you for this quick and holistic response. I am sure that settles the matter and helps the movement to avoid future misunderstandings like these. The real victim here is Maria, of course. She has invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and knowledge into steering the WMF Board for many, many years. She has contributed so much to our movement as a volunteer - she does not deserve this stain on her reputation. And I sincerely hope that people within the WMF have apologized to Maria for bringing her into this impossible situation.

Dear Amanda, it is good to hear that you will take this advise and the discussion under consideration for future decisions of this kind. But what about the one we are talking about right now? Will the WMF review it´s decision to hire the former chair of its own board, or not? Besides all the good arguments from Jan-Bart, Chris and many others here: How is hiring the former Board chair not covered under the Conflict of Interest policy of the WMF? Cleary, the former Chair of the Board falls under the "Covered Person" definition - and the policy clearly coveres not only *actual* CoI, but also *peceived* ones?
