As this is being explicitly imposed by the board from above without community approval, participating in any way is ethically unsound. Doubly so without a board election preceding this as the WMF has arbitrarily denied communities the right, as manifested in the election of the community seats, to voice their opinions of actions that WMF has taken over the last 18 months. A collaborative process is a collaborative process when it's actually a collaborative process, not just when it's called one.
The best use of time at this point is to organize the communities to use every means at its disposal to resist such an imposition.
