This first post, from Vice Chair Phoebe Ayers, explains the Board, its
mandate, and its work within the community. It will hopefully remain a
useful reference for a long time to come. We are looking to translate
this text into as many languages as possible. Since the blog has
already been posted in English, we hope to update it with other
languages throughout the week.
The goal of this project is to publish one blog post a month written
by a member of the WMF board of trustees. It is an opportunity for
board members to discuss issues that are pertinent and important to
the Wikimedia movement. We hope the blog will provide an added level
of transparency into the way the board functions as well as its
members.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions!
