when you have a design that works - Wikimedia
adopted a fairly
conventional structure for its board, and it should continue to rely
on governance concepts that have been proven. Organizations like
Mozilla, EPIC, EFF, the ACLU and others might be targets not only for
adapting their governance style but also for attracting outside
members of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees. Additionally, you could
investigate recruiting Board members from academic and encyclopedic
organizations with similar missions.
Some previous board members were very insistant that we should primarily
recruit from the community.
indeed it was and still is at least this previous board member's firm belief
concerning open *staff-positions*:
1. that these should be openly advertised before being filled
2. that these should always be advertised to the community in the first
place, but not exclusively
