How can you have a Q&A on a topic like this that doesn't even address
the matter than you have sold a seat on the board? Has the WMF
completely lost touch with the community? It should be obvious that
this is going to be a highly controversial decision and yet you can't
even get the basic announcement right and don't even try and answer
the obvious question the community is going to ask. This is
ridiculous.
