First, I suppose it's clear to you that you won't be reelected because of this paragraph. While your legal obligations belong to WMF, your political obligations belong to those who elected you. And the paragraph above is far from being politically wise. Second, this is the exact part of the Board's internal mythology about the enemies inside of the movement. They've been repeated since Florance and Angela leaved the Board. I suppose Jimmy is the most responsible for spreading that. What I can't understand is the fact that I don't see that too much (s)elected Board members have integrity above Jimmy's rumors threshold. Third, may you give to me *one* example of movement being in confrontation with WMF's legal foundations, thus requiring Board to react to protect WMF against the evil community? -- Milos _______________________________________________ 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>
