Hoi, For one reason, we want the board to do perform their duties in stead of playing to the galleries.
Bleh, then don't announce the hire on this list. All I'm asking for is who made the decision. If it was a board decision, I'm not even asking for the names, a simple "board resolution, passed 4 votes to 3" would suffice.
The idea that the community plays any role whatsoever in the running of the Wikimedia foundation is all a ruse if we can't have such basic information.
Frankly I have no idea why this would be kept such a secret.
