To clarify the procedural aspects of this a bit, the current press release has been authorized by the President of Wikimedia DC. The Board will be formally endorsing the President's statements at our next regularly scheduled meeting.
Cheers, Kirill

Why were the Board's deliberations on this press release hidden from the view of members? Was it done by unanimous written consent? I did not see any notice of a special meeting regarding it. I am curious. Thanks, -- Bob Platt
