[Wikimedia-l] James Heilman joins the Board Governance Committee as a volunteer and advisory member

[Nataliia Tymkiv]

Dear all,



I wanted to inform you that starting today James Heilman joins the Board
Governance Committee (BGC) as a volunteer and advisory member [1]. That
means that he will be working with the BGC as a non-voting member, together
with Ira B. Matetsky, Gayle Karen Young, Tim Moritz Hector, Ido Ivry and
Kat Walsh [2].



The BGC believes that in case James is approved by the Board as a Board
member [3] it would also be a good onboarding opportunity for him.



=== James Heilman ===
James Heilman is “an active contributor to WikiProject Medicine, is a
volunteer Wikipedia administrator, was the president of Wikimedia Canada
between 2010 and 2013, and founded and was formerly the president of Wiki
Project Med Foundation. He is also the founder of WikiProject Medicine's
Medicine Translation Task Force. In June 2015, he was elected to the
Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, a position which he held until he
was removed on December 28, 2015” [4]. He is among top three candidates for
the community selected seats selected by the community to be recommended to
the Board for approval, according to the results from the 2017 Wikimedia
Foundation Board of Trustees selection process [5].



If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me.

Thank you, Nataliia and James.

This appointment continues a trend of decisions and steps from the BGC
since Nataliia took the committee chair role that I think are good.

James

Do you have a position or preliminary views you would like to share with
the community about Board Governance?  Is there anything specific you will
be seeking to look into, or change, or start, or stop.  Are there areas for
improvement or is everything fine?  In particular, do you think that
Board-Community relations need any attention from the Governance Committee?

[Rogol Domedonfors]

Of course there is a doubt.  The Community runs a process which for
presentational purposes is called an election, but only to put forward
potential new Borard members.  The appointment is entirely in the hands of
the Board.  They can accept or reject the names put forward by the
Community, or select someone else from that list, or soeone else entirely.
Given that the Board chose to remove James prevously, for reasons that have
never been made clear to the Community, it is within the bounds of
possibility that they might decline to appoint him again.  I do not think
that would be wise, or very popular wth the Community, but it is for the
Board, and the Board alone, to decide.
