The Board has been working on a report of our activities; please find the first report, covering May and June of this year, below. This is a short summary, meant to help share our work with the community and movement, and help make Board work and trustee activities more accessible& transparent.
Thank you! For the next reports, you might consider to define the scope of the report better. For instance, it's probably not suitable for blog.wikimedia.org because it's not for the general public, but this means that you can worry less about some things which are difficult to explain. As far as I understand, it's meant to cover the activities of all board members and represent the board as a whole: this is going to be very hard work! But another consequence is that it will contain only "official board positions", as opposed to e.g. the point of view of the 3 or 3+2 community members. This is up to you, but then I don't understand the purpose of the first half of the report (before "Other Board work"): as it is, it might be just a duplicate of the resolutions and minutes on the wiki; not more informative, nor significantly shorter, nor providing different insights. In other words, you could consider to drop that part reducing your work and the community could just learn to read the resolutions (which are few and short) and minutes (which are not so long after all) on the wiki. For those who don't know, there are also feeds for them (as for any wiki page, hence quite raw, but still serving the purpose). http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolutions http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Meetings http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Resolutions&feed=atom&a... http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Meetings&feed=atom&...
