There is no requirement to know everything. There is a requirement to make decisions in the best interests of the organisation, *as you see it*. If a trustee persistently abstains on the big decisions because they cant see *it* (no vision), or wish to avoid scrutiny, they are abusing their right to abstain and failing the organisation as a trustee. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
