I mostly agree with Risker up until her last paragraph.
It is true that Wikipedia has received a some positive coverage in the press recently. I think that this is largely due to the good work of employees in WMF's Technology and Audiences departments, and volunteers who participate in subjects that are related to Covid-19. Although there has been some recent and probably justified criticism on this list of WMF's fundraising, I ask us to remember that this fundraising brings financial support for Technology and Audiences employees.
I am not a fan of the WMF Board making surprise decisions, nor of the WMF Board unilaterally deciding to change the timing for elections for what should be community-appointed seats. I wish that WMF would get out of the habit of making unilateral decisions that pertain to community governance.
