Risker, perhaps you missed this part of Patricio's message; I'm pretty sure this is what Pine was referring to:
> In re-reading Jan-Bart’s original email [1] where he stated that Sue was staying on as an advisor, it isn’t explicit that this was a paid position. We should have been more clear on this point. Speaking for myself, along with Patricio, I do appreciate Sue's willingness to disclose information, presumably in the interest of resolving this matter. I am accustomed to Sue acting in the best interest of the Wikimedia movement, but we shouldn't take it for granted; this would all be a much bigger fiasco without that bit of information. I do think it helps a great deal to know that, but it doesn't dismiss all the important questions. Many of us (who are used to the term "advisor" being used only for the unpaid advisory board) were surprised to learn there was compensation at all. In addition, I'm not so happy to hear from James Heilman (in a Facebook comment) that he was unaware of Sue's availability as a paid advisor during his tenure as a Trustee. -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] On 6/7/16, Risker <risker...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think Patricio would be surprised that you have interpreted his email > that way, Pine.
