Wondering if there is any particular relevance to the gender gap issue in the removal of one board member and protests against the new one? Or just a general "editor trust" issue, which makes many editors dis-trust any "close the gap" programs/initiatives by WMF?? (Or at least gives them an *excuse* to distrust them!)
