I'm drafting a Board resolution to clarify the

"Licensing policy" and "Access to nonpublic data", as follows:

access policies for OTRS e-mail queues or other communication systems
of the Wikimedia Foundation are defined by WMF office staff in
accordance with the intent of the resolution.
It seems that the effect of this is to give office staff a blank cheque
for writing these policies.
I doubt this. It clearly states "in accordance with the intent of the
resolution". If the board feels that the staff-defined policies are
not in accordance with the intent of the resolution, it can step in
and direct the staff to change the policy.
