Hi Lila,
interesting this new organization but a question comes up.
Considering the presence of a new COO and the request to have more rigor
and discipline, does Wikimedia Foundation is planning to apply a framework
for IT governance of for improving IT services, like for instance ITIL or
Cobit?
The request makes sense in my opinion because I worked (and I am working a
lot) with those frameworks or best practices because I am experiencing that
within the new technologies the IT governance is becoming really important.
The simple experience in management systems is not sufficient.
Anyway more rigor and discipline means an use of a framework and probably
also auditing.
Best regards

In February, we brought the key community-facing functions into one team,
Community Engagement under Luis Villa, to improve support for community
needs and priorities. In March, we brought on Terry Gilbey as our new Chief
Operating Officer, to improve our organizational effectiveness, and
introduce rigor and discipline into our operational processes, metrics, and
reporting. And just two weeks ago, we introduced Kourosh Karimkhany as our
new Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, to build meaningful
partnerships, projects, and relationships that advance our mission.
