I'm more interested in the numbers for the WMF as a whole. One CEO does not
make an emissions problem, and in a global-reaching organization I'd hope
that the CEO would be flying around a bit. Focusing on the ten or so
executives at the Foundation seems like a sensational approach rather than

don't see how it is desirable that the Foundation is willing to push ideas

Adrian R
community groups *before* you start consulting, and use them as part of the
consultation, so it stops being Foundation vs. the community and turns into
the Foundation collaboratively supporting community-led ideas.
It pains me to see this being done poorly, time and time again.
Adrian Raddatz
I'm tempted to sit this one out. The Foundation has organized a bunch of
working groups, staffed primarily through volunteers of various types, to
present some strategic recommendations for moving forward into the future.
We are a movement with flaws and opportunities for improvement, as with any
people accountable for their behaviour regardless of whether or not
they are correct.

can change or amend things if they don't work.

Yes, like Samuel I'm excited to see some experimentation with alternative

Oh please. It might be a bit confusing, but there's no huge issue here. You
could have just asked the person to remain on one account, rather than
accuse him of sockpuppetry and ask an admin to block him if it continues.
I'd call that a rule of basic interaction in an online setting - be
curtious.

As to the appeals process proposed above, that is not useful either in my
opinion. Nor is there any relation between being a bureaucrat, AffCom
member, etc. and having the time, knowledge, and competence to deal with
these cases.
Adrian Raddatz
differently.
Instead of imposing a WMF ban, they could build a case for a community ban,
and follow that process instead. As I said though, I'm not convinced that
there is a problem with how things are done currently. Some things
shouldn't be handled by community governance.

Wikimedia isn't a country, the global ban policy isn't a law. Any such
metaphors are honestly a bit ridiculous. The WMF bans are, for the most
part, sensitive. And that means that they all need to be, because if you
have a list of reasons that you can disclose, then any bans without comment
are
Not for any wiki; only Meta had wmf staff with admin rights, and only for
use within their specific work-related areas.
I am totally unconcerned with WMF staff having the necessary permissions to
do their job. They can easily be held accountable as paid employees.

I quite like the Phabricator guidelines. Can't those just be replicated to
apply to all technical spaces? No more years of debate needed, or new

Similar to Vito, the safe space/code of conduct crowd has never

I like the idea of reserved seats for the global south. I would prefer to
still have some appointed members for expertise, but that number should be
diminished to give the community seats a majority.
Somewhat controversial: I'd prefer to scrap the affiliate - selected seats.
