like others on this thread i think the WMF bylaws are broken in this respect. not legally broken, but morally. i'd love to vote for a trustee, and i'd love to reverse my decision in case a sufficient party is not happy. if in this case james does not want to have a public discussion he is free to resign. if the board thinks it cannot work with james anymore, and is able to remove him without him beeing ok with it, without public discussion, then i do not find it transparent. best, rupert _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
