The thing is, we need organization, as that is what the user group has indicated. At the
rate we’re going, we cannot wait another year to figure out who is going to do what, and
if we have a basic structure, we’re better off than if we had none at all. I left the
elections to the end so that we could ensure that we had a framework down before we
elected anyone else. We cannot afford to just be a name any longer, and if we have the
support, I see no reason why we can’t elect people to formal positions so that we can look
like we’re serious to the Affiliations Committee.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-boston] Ideas for agenda for Saturday
Elect board? This is way too soon for that. First we decide where we want to go as an
organization, then we build a policy framework around that, and finally when both of those
things are done, then we can elect a board.
The meeting on Saturday will be an excellent platform for resolving the question of where
we want to go as an organization, and from there we can probably build a set of Google
Docs and flush out some framework documents. Hopefully that will be done by the end of the
summer and we can hold some sort of event once the non-local based students are back in,
to ratify the framework and elect a board.
