Hoi.
One reason why I am a candidate for the board of the WMF is that in my opinion one function is lacking. There is no reflection of the fact that all that we do is to share the sum of all knowledge. It is not only about the creation of content but also about sharing the sum all the knowledge that is available to us.

For obvious reasons, the contributors to the projects are heard. I do not subscribe to the notion that the "projects" need to be in the organisational chart. With 300 languages and potentially multiple projects for each language it is impossible to have equity among these projects. The point that I have made repeatedly: Commons is not useful in any language but English, this does not need to be as there is software that works equally well in any language dependent on the availability of labels in Wikidata. This is just one example, there are more.
Thanks,

Earlier today I tried to predict what the WMF org chart will look
like, but I wasn't confident about my suggestion, so I created a new
email account, subscribed it to wikimedia-l, and tried to send from
there. I learned that new subscribers are moderated, which seems
sensible given the level of trolling and disruption, and have since
improved the prediction and become more confident about it. I have
since learned that HTML email with embedded email attachments aren't
allowed either, so, Moderators, please reject my earlier anonymous
submission(s).

This is what I predict the Wikimedia organizational chart will look
like in one year's time:

Please critique it! If you are running for the Board of Directors, I
am especially interested in your critique of this prediction.

Thank you!
