I fully support allowing our talented and dedicated WMF staff to have the opportunity to choose the people who guide the direction of the WMF.
I'd like to add to this that the (pretty small) set of staffers that would not otherwise have had eligibility to vote are generally in administrative, finance and legal positions - all of which bring other perspectives to evaluation of the candidates that may be valuable.
But, more importantly, they share our values and commitment to the ideals behind the movement. They wouldn't be working at the Foundation if they didn't because our internal culture is - literally - all about the mission.
Disclaimer: I'm staff myself, but eligible to vote as a volunteer.
