Dear Amanda,
Thank you for this quick and holistic response. I am sure that settles the matter and helps the movement to avoid future misunderstandings like these.
The real victim here is Maria, of course. She has invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and knowledge into steering the WMF Board for many, many years. She has contributed so much to our movement as a volunteer - she does not deserve this stain on her reputation. And I sincerely hope that people within the WMF have apologized to Maria for bringing her into this impossible situation.
Cheers,
Pavel
