I met him, he's amazingly focused and radical, I appreciate his brand of intellect very much. But I think suggesting candidates for the ED position at this time is jumping two steps ahead of where we are.
We just screwed up. We were all dragged through months of an awkward collapse of our leadership and organizational structure. Before we start piling the rubble of this collapse back up into the same exact shape with a different keystone, let's take a breath and think. First we should make sure we understand what, more or less, failed. It was not just Lila. Second, we should talk about what options we have and what criteria we should use to evaluate those options. We can be patient. We have reaffirmed our respect for each other and we trust each other enough to share ideas, emotions, and proposals. This is our foundation, and it hasn't collapsed.

WMF I would like to continue the discussion of who, in an ideal case, would be a good fit for the ED position. This person has to fit culturally, share movement's values, and be a trusted figure in the time of rebuilding. Lawrence Lessig seems to have a very strong support in the community, and even attempted to run (unsuccessfully) a large organization called United States.
