Actually, no, you probably can't ask that question either - because the
names of the individuals who have departed are pretty much all publicly
known. (There's even a timeline in which all their names are mentioned,
linked from news articles and other "external" locations.) In many
jurisdictions, it is potentially illegal for employers to disclose such
information; many would feel it unethical for an employer to disclose the
departure conditions absent a mutual agreement between the employer and the
departed. California human resources law would allow for a civil suit that
could result in a large settlement, either individually or as a group
(think high-tech employees lawsuit). This is an area where "transparency"
very definitely intersects with the privacy rights of those individuals who
are directly affected. Privacy should win.

It's an easy question to ask in a non-specific
way:
In the last six months, has the WMF approved severance agreements with
departing employees with language that, in effect, prevented them from
publicly criticizing the WMF, its management or the Board on matters of
public interest?
