Hoi, Really? Doctors from Mexico?? That is very discriminating. The problem with many medical publications from the USA is that they are not at all about the best practices people should be treated with. Many best practices are not practiced in the the USA eg Open Dialogue. Thanks, GerardM

Hey Luis! So, the good news is that a couple things you describe here are in the works. I think others have been discussed but haven't reached consensus or implementation, while still others are helpful new suggestions. I can't speak to all of these suggestions, but I can talk about what we've got

Then without further delay, his reappointment should happen ASAP. I don’t understand why it should go back to the community for reelection when it was a Board decision to remove him. The Board should simply apologize and reinstate James Hellman now. Betty Wills (Atsme) > On May 5, 2016, at 1

As part of Dennys email about the events leading to James removal, the topic of confidentiality came up. It was argued that staff members of WMF did approach James and shared their views and insights, and requested that this information would be kept confidential, at least ( so I assume) in regards

[Wikimedia-l] What should the board do *now*? [was Re: Account of the events leading to James Heilman's removal]

tl;dr: the board did not effectively perform one of their most important roles (managing the ED); the board (and board candidates) should be talking about how they will fix that. [Also, see the very bottom for some relevant disclosures, since I've been asked after previous postings to this list.]

Let's get real. Let's stop apologising for Jimmy Wales or pretending he's our Royal family and can never be correctly held to account for his actions. We can say without any doubt that Jimmy is a bully, he misuses "confidentiality" as a political weapon, and he has repeatedly been emotionally unab
