This Board was fomed in 2007 to advise the Wikimedia Foundation, and was
required to be renewed annually. No resolution was made to do so in 2015,
so by the beginning of 2016 it had lapsed. This status is reflected at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Advisory_Board but the corresponding page
at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board is seriously out of
date (it was written when the board was still in existence). Just about a
year ago, Dariusz assured me that "it is one of the BGC's priorities to
revise and re-ignite the Advisory Board" and indeed the BGC minutes for
April published a couple of days ago at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Governance_Committee/Minutes_13-04-2017
show that the BGC took a paper (not made public) from Dariusz on the
subject and agreed to "submit a formal proposal to the Board". No Board
resoultion on the subject has yet been published.
Rather confusingly, shortly after the BGC meeting, Florence wrote a page
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/WMF_Advisory_board
recording the Advisory Board's opinions on matters arising in the current
movement strategy process. So it would seem that within a fortnight of the
BGC meeting, an entity called the Advisory Board was already in existence
again.
What is the status of the Avisory Board? Has it been reconstiuted, and if
so, when, and who are its new members? If it has not been reconstituted,
what is the status of Florence's record? If and when the Advisory Board is
reconstituted, will input from the Community for potential members be
welcome, and if so how will it be gathered? Once the Board is in operation
again, is it expected that it will interact with the Community, and if so,
what will the mechanism be for that interaction.

I was asked to help with the strategy discussion design at the end of
2016. When the strategy discussions were effectively launched, I thought
it made sense to actually ask their feedback to advisory board members.
It does not really (in my view) what the current administrative status
of the advboard is, there are wise people out there and it made sense to
ask them for their opinion. Practically speaking, I could not pursue the
talks very far (in particular in the second phase) due to multiple
personal issues that really impaired my available time recently. But I
think it simply made sense to get them involve, aware of the strategic
process ongoing and inform them enough that they can jump in if needed.
I have no further comment to make on the Adv Board (it is not to hide
anything. It simply is that I have no further comment to make).
