Hi Austin, thanks for sending around. Could you just give a link to where exactly on the wiki you would "the discussion" (very broad term :) ) like to take place? Which topics do you especially invite people to discuss /now/?
Also the meeting notes mention "The first deliverable, a formal proposal to the Board at its October meeting, was discussed. A first draft will be sent to the workgroup in the next few days." - is this draft going to be public as intended initially? (I hope so :) - would love to give some more input there) Best, Lodewijk 2010/9/22 Austin Hair <adh...@gmail.com> > The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has commissioned a > year-long effort to clarify the roles of various stakeholders in the > movement, with the final goal of developing a "Wikimedia Charter"—a > document where the roles and responsibilities within the Wikimedia > organization are clearly defined and agreed upon by all > stakeholders—and a plan for going forward with organizational > development. > > This process will be transparent, and open to input from anyone > interested.
