Hoi, There are opportunities for smooth cooperation when multiple organisations exchange people in their advisory boards or boards. It cements the relation and provides for informal contacts that helps smooth the rough edges in the mutual business practices. High level contacts definetly help mutual strategies in a similar way that lower level contacts help mutual practices.
In other words, there are two sides to that coin. Thanks, GerardM

Out of curiosity, how does Erik serving on other non-profit boards, even of related organizations (assuming they are unpaid positions), an issue that is included in transparency regarding WMF? It would seem to be a personal choice that doesn't affect his performance as a WMF employee.
There are potential conflicts of interest when someone has a connection with multiple organisation, especially ones that could conceivably do business together.
