[Wikimedia-l] Board appointments July 2012

[Bishakha Datta]

Greetings, all.

And apologies. This resolution approving the Wikimedia Chapters' selections
to the Board of Trustees was unanimously approved, in-person, on July 11,
2012.

It took much longer to publish than it should have due to a procedural
issue.

It has finally been published at:

If they got confirmed at July 11, (from the resolution: "*This written
Resolution will be effective as of July 11, 2012*") why are Phoebe and Arne
voting in all other resolutions passed at the day??

And why they vote on this one:

July
*16*?

See
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Talk:Resolution:Personal_image_hiding_feature

Votes were initially cast on 11 July with Phoebe and Arne still on the
board. Then Jimmy changed his vote on 16 July.

Hi Beria,

I am sure Bishakha will give a more thorough answer if I am mistaken, but
from what I heard from Board members when I asked the same question: the
new board members fully participated in the meeting on the 11 July, but for
technical reasons and simplicity's sake, they only assumed the positions of
the outgoing board members at the very end of the meeting.
The image hiding resolution was first taken on 11 July, if you check the
history or the talk page, you will see, that Jimmy changed his vote a few
days later, hence the new date.

Best regards,
Bence

That's correct. The transition took place at the end of the meeting on
July 11th. We didn't want to leave a legacy of too much unfinished
business (some resolutions had a history that started long before the
new board members were selected), while allowing Alice and Patricio to
get used to their new roles.

And it was organized in this manner with our full agreement. We were
involved in every discussion which made it very easy to feel like an
equivalent part of this body quite fast.

Just confirming that this is exactly right.
