Hi,
I believe that most points are valid, but I disagree with item no. 11.
The first part has already been mentioned in the thread following Ting
Chen's letter with a statement that the board intends to make this a
visible feature in all Wikimedia projects, and when people probed about
it, I didn't see Sue (or anyone else) indicating that the Board wants to
make an exception for projects who reject the idea of filters in their
projects.
And the second part: there's a truckload of other issues I'd rather see
tackled vigorously instead of spending community time and money on
something like a filter mechanism that is of highly dubious value. In
fact, I don't believe it helps our mission at all.

11. My suggestion to the Board would be to abandon the
idea of the personal image filter for the German Wikipedia – I don't believe it is
really needed, and the German community does not want it – but to pursue it vigorously for
other projects, including in particular the English Wikipedia and Commons, and taking note
of any regional variation in the referendum results.
