Greetings
I can not wait to see how history of "current days" related to the
"Wikimedia Summit, last modifications to the Wikimedia Movement Charter
proposition, and voting period" will be dealt with in 18 years in the
future. It promises to be stimulating.
In any cases, interesting "return in the past" Adam.
The initial bylaws were **extremely poorly made** and fully mis-adapted
to our context. Anyone reading Article III would realize that. I am not
impressed by the lawyer who wrote them, he did not do us a favor (not
naming names on purpose)

When the WMF was set up, those involved chose not to make it a
membership organisation.
Greetings! I will emerge from the shadows to point out that WMF /was/
originally incorporated as a membership organization, with criteria
for membership, public pages about membership and discussions about
how to implement the details. However, its articles of incorporation
were later changed under very likely illegal circumstances (through a
vote made without informing their membership). It's very possible
that the many original members still have the standing to remedy this
unfortunate situation of a self-appointing Board—if they can organize
such a push.
The long story:
