Well, we as a community don't require such
individual statements about
any other issue; I realize this may be a personal dealbreaker for you
but it doesn't seem like the single most important issue of our day.
I'd much rather hear what individual board members think about
strategy or the budget, which is of much more lasting import for how
the foundation gets run.
It's board members directly asserting control over content. Of course
it's a major issue.
I don't disagree, but I meant what I said about *single* most important issue!
And I'm not sure that's how I'd frame it. The board statement seemed
pretty clear; reaffirming existing policy. I guess it depends a bit on
what capacity you think Jimmy was acting in; this is not the first
time in the last decade that he's used bold action to get us to
rethink content policies.
