The board statement was sent to the mailing list and put on the blog,

about it to the entire membership list. We very rarely send out emails
to the entire membership list - usually only once a year, just before
the AGM. It's not good practice to simply hit "email all", because it
tends to swamp uninterested people, who then end up unsubscribing from
the list. The majority of our communications are done through this
mailing list, or on the UK wiki, as all of our active members read this
list. Certainly, all our members are encouraged to join the UK Wikimedia
mailing list when they join the chapter. We're actively reviewing the
way through which we communicate with everyone, however - the 2012 Comms
Review has been seen by a few volunteers, and should be ready for
general feedback soon.
I would say a public statement from the board re. its chair on the
current subject qualify as important enough to merit an email to the
entire membership.
