Dear all,
Today the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted to remove one of
the
Trustees, Dr. James Heilman, from the Board. His
term ended effective
immediately.
This was not a decision the Board took lightly. The Board has a
responsibility to the Wikimedia movement and the Wikimedia Foundation to
ensure that the Board functions with mutual confidence to ensure
effective
governance. Following serious consideration, the
Board felt this removal
decision was a necessary step at this time. The resolution will be
published shortly.
This decision creates an open seat for a community-selected Trustee. The
Board is committed to filling this open community seat as quickly as
possible. We will reach out to the 2015 election committee

to
discuss our options, and will keep you informed as we determine next
steps.
Patricio Lorente
Chair, Board of Trustees
Wikimedia Foundation
While you are at it, Patricio, please also publish the names of the two new
Board-appointed trustees.
