Not responding to the particulars of the discussion below, but still on the topic expressed in the header above, I would like to know if the minutes of the board meeting in which the trustees voted to dismiss the executive director Lila Tretikov will be published.
I did look for them (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Minutes) but these minutes (if they exist) are not currently there.
Jimbo responded to arbitrator GorillaWarfare on this list, basically, "yes, I supported with sadness the decision to dismiss Lila." I am interested a little further. I would like to know if Jimbo not only supported but *introduced* the motion to dismiss Lila. If not him, okay, but then whom?
Thank you. I'd like to review some minutes but would also be pleased to hear the comment of any trustee that was there. Jimbo has already revealed his vote, so it doesn't seem like another trustee should be criticized for violating any confidence, after all Wikimedia prides itself on transparency.

Jimmy, could you please treat this request with the absolute highest priority. It has gone on too long. If some parts must be redacted because you cant get agreement from other parties, then so be it -- just tell us why (broadly) some part was redacted.
As far as I am aware, we are still waiting for an answer from Jimmy here. The same applies to the question Sarah posed here[1] and others repeated here.[2]
There is a very understandable sense of fatigue that sets in when things drag out like this. Everybody gets tired of the topic after a while. But I submit that there is a systemic issue here that has blighted communication in this movement for long enough.
