Thanks for the detailed interesting info, Florence!

We also took some time to officially create an ED
committee (this is the
second board committee). The membership is Jan-Bart, Kat ? and Anthere.
The roles of this committee are all related to the Executive Director.
It may be 1) to find and hire an ED, 2) to provide an annual assesment
of the ED work, 3) to negotiate working conditions, 4) to fire him etc...
Will Sue be staying on as Special Advisor when an ED is found? I had
an idea that her role was going to be kind of converted to ED at some
stage.

However, this quest could not be handled uniquely by
Mona and I. So, to
organize this quest, we created a Treasurer Search workgroup. Current
membership is Kat, Erik and I. Erik is the chair of that group.
More to come on the treasurer search soon.
Hm, I hope this doesn't take as long as the ED search. :) I guess it
is not nearly as important that a treasurer "share our principles" as
compared to an ED.
Budget discussion occured with consultant Mona
Venkateswaran, resulting
in approval of the FY 2007-2008 overall budget value.
This is the first properly planned budget in the history of the
Wikimedia Foundation. It is understood to be tentative and contain a
significant margin of error. Budget will be refined as data capture
improves.
We also asked that more granular capture of accounting categories was
needed, e.g. Wikimania.
Will the budget be a resolution? If not, when will we be able to see it?
cheers,
Brianna
