So, uh, maybe I haven't been reading F-l as closely as I should have been, but this seems to have come out of nowhere, in response to a thread from October? Did I miss something? At any rate, if you or others would like to talk about the chapter-selected board members (of which I am one) I'd be glad to do so, but let's start a new thread -- this is confusing, as I'm pretty sure it doesn't have much of anything to do with Kohs/Damian. -- phoebe _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
