Erik, In Liam's email to the list he mentioned:
"We did get to dilute the worst of the original job description so it wasn't so blatant a paid editing role but our suggestions that the position be 'paused' until the community could help was rejected because of a deadline that had been set by Stanton/Harvard apparently." Can you please provide the original JDF so the rest of the community has the opportunity to look at it. I understand this is a difficult time for the WMF, but many in the community (the number one stakeholder in our projects) will not be happy with simply getting a few reports from Sandole, a heap of spin from the WMF and then move on; as we do on Wikipedia projects, we present information and let the readers make their own minds up. I also had a question relating to https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Wikimedia_Foundation_Guiding_Principles#Independence but given you weren't involved in this (perhaps the only person in management at the WMF who wasn't!), I will leave my question for Sue to answer when she gets back. Anyway, I would welcome the community being able to peruse the original JDF, that at least Liam and LoriLee was privvy too, at the earliest opportunity.
