It would be most helpful to know where and how the Board in general would welcome such issues being raised and how much resource they will have to sustain those discussions. Attempting to raise issues at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard for example, has not met with great success: indeed, one Board member has written there "I honestly disagree that "additional effort" is a realistic opportunity",
It is fair to say that at least one other Board member has taken a very positive attitude, and we have had some constructive engagement for which I am duly grateful.
