I find this response a bit odd. ;-) It almost seems to assume that the community (or Nathan?) is likely wanting to elect someone the WMF couldn't accept, or that "responsibility to the community" is a bad thing, while we used to say only that there's no imperative mandate and that chapters-elected trustees are not chapters representatives, etc. Nemo _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
