Maggie,
How widely was this role advertised? Where?
In 2019 Maria's partner invoked a process which, judging from the ensuing furore, was known only to Foundation insiders. That episode ripped the English Wikipedia community apart for months after, and still casts a long shadow.
In 2021 Maria is appointed to a vacancy which apparently was known only to Foundation insiders. Whatever she brings to the role it doesn't appear to be a sensitivity to the need for, or the appearance of, openness.
