As a Wikimedia Commons volunteer I'm disappointed
by the process followed
by some chapters, i.e. which have chosen to bypass the community and send a
letter directly to the board of trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation.
However, I must say I would have prefered the chapters to talk with the
principal stakeholders, i.e. all the communities. I know, said chapters are
not forced to talk with the communities but It is rather ironical, when
"ignoring the stakeholder" is a blame that I have heard a lot this month :p
WM-IL and the other chapters have posted a text on meta, saying what
they think. I don't know how this counts as "bypassing the community",
isn't Meta the place where the community discuss?
That said, it is not the first time I see strong opinions in a
discussion within our community.
Also note, that these open letters do not imply any decision (as the
board resolution, which you are referring to, did).
