Tom, Please re-read the statement.
The board: a) acknowledges mistakes have been made b) acknowledges that those mistakes have had a damaging impact c) identified a process (the review) which will not only look closely at what went on, but will produce "clear recommendations which will help us follow best practice in every area of governance". I think you bring very important insights which can and should help get WMUK to where it needs to be. However I don't think you help people grasp the importance of what you suggest when you take umbrage where it is not necessary. all the best Fabian (User:Leutha) Tom Dalton wrote: >The board needs to learn how to write a statement that actually says >something... > >Apologising for mistakes is meaningless if you don't acknowledge what >those mistakes are.

If you want to wait until the >review is complete before going into details, then say that. Don't .post this kind of meaningless drivel. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
