Dear Patricio Lorente, You can read a neat summary of Arnnon Geshuri's part in unlawful activities at Google at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cullen328/Arnnon_Geshuri. This included Geshuri encouraging other organizations to take part in the anticompetitive scheme, and firing Google employees who failed to comply with the unlawful policies he implemented. It was determined in court that Geshuri's actions damaged the careers of thousands of people.
There is no doubt that Arnnon Geshuri should resign as a trustee for the Wikimedia Foundation, and your board made a serious mistake in his appointment. It is time for an independent governance review to shine light on these problems. I look forward to your public statement.
