Hi David,
That issue is in Our by Laws; Number 21 to be specific, which says, "The board member shall be elected individually and the board will distribute the functions (of chairperson, treasurer, secretary, etc.) amongst themselves." Refer to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya/bylaws
Regards,
