To be perfectly honest, while I'm not a professional translator, it can't certainly can't take that many hours of work to translate "the board is going to pick whatever name they want, irrespective of anything the communities offer" into many languages. Seriously, why all the theater? The board cared little for how the community felt about the initial name change proposal, code of conduct, and crammed the 2030 project so aggressively down the throats of the community that even the most deluded as to the state of affairs saw it was pointless to offer any additional feedback. There's still no transparency for board conflicts-of-interest during the Fram incident or the capricious and arbitrary extension of the term of community board seats. Every single person reading this knows that the board is going to do whatever it wants anyway, so why insult the community with the pretense that any opinions of the community actually matter? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l 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>
