I finally understand. User:Karen (I am assuming, based on other ppl's remarks) opinions might affect her employment, and in an effort to conceal her opinions, Gerard is keeping his contribution confidential. Thus rendering it very hard for anyone to follow the threads and deduce what she may have said. I have a question here: Why would it be one of the new member's tasks to update the archives, when it is the explicit desire of some of the committee members to render them as unreadable as possible to conceal someone's opinions?
I personally don't agree with this. I believe a person with such problematic employment situation is not a good fit for a supposedly community committee. And even if there is a great need for this person's expertise, other arrangements could be made so that the 95% of discussions (based on the current participation level of that person) where he/she is not involved can be public. Oh and regarding: > If this gives you the impression that there is not that much to discuss, > you > are completely correct. > I disagree with this statement too, I have been trying to follow what's there from the archive and the discussions are not simple 'x: pass, y: fail' application of a set of rules. That is based on partial conversations I can read. -- Best Regards, Muhammad Yahia _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
