Dear Siko,
I was trying to phrase something like this, but you beat me to it. This
discussion gives me hope.

Ido, Ori, Sydney, Shani, Ben, Delphine, Gayle, thank
you for your boldness
and wisdom in this thread. I know how rarely some of us speak on this list,
and I appreciate you raising your voices here, now. I need to believe that
the power of the collective leadership that so many volunteers and staff
are showing here will ultimately be strong enough to ensure that the
Wikimedia Foundation has the leadership that its mission deserves.
Thank you to Ori, Dan, Brion, and other staff for sharing your thoughts
over the past days, and dispelling some of the mystery and uncertainty.
To the board, please engage. We are in this together, and depend on one
another. Have an honest conversation with the staff and community about
the immediate problems, let us find a way forward. Dariusz, don't fall
silent – we need your perspective.

an organisation is

a wiki, and revert not always an option, I'm
pretty sure that
More to be said here, but first: I hope you will finish this thought.
