Ah, I think it becomes clearer now. This is your preferred version, not anything official, based on your interpretations.

Please show me, in amongst all the official documents released in relation to the strategy, where it recommends that WMF employees should have representation on the WMF Board of Trustees. Not as a suggestion from someone, but something that has officially been agreed upon. I am sure I don't need to remind you that the WMF is an American foundation and that it is not required to meet the expectations of legislators in other countries. I think the broad WIkimedia community would be up in arms at the thought that a small group of about 500 people would have such proportionately high representation compared to the broader community (through either affiliate-selected or participant-selected seats).

And, having read your "revised" version....no, just no. Projects don't belong there.

Hi Anne,

Thank you for both of your excellent questions.

1) In Germany, rank-and-file employees are required to be represented
in seat(s) on corporate boards of directors. Employee satisfaction is
off the scale compared to North America, as are advantages such as
healthcare untethered from employers, maternity and paternity leave,
substantially longer life expectancy, and reduced income inequality.

2) The projects were abstracted out of the org chart. Individually,
they exist in the "Editor" and "Operations" nodes. All of the
Wikimedia projects have editors, who use the services provided by the
Engineering Operations team.

I hope there is some way to get comment on the proposed org chart on
the list of proposed Board candidate questions without disclosing my
userid.
