Hoi,
I wish the board strength and wisdom. Taking up these added tasks must
be a burden given that there is already so much on your shoulders. I
wish Kat fun fending off all those who will try to find out what the
secret mission is that she and her cabal are embarking on..
Thanks,
GerardN

As just announced, the Wikimedia Foundation does not
have any executive director any more, until an ED is found (hopefully within 3-4 months).
This raises some questions of organisation.
To foster efficiency and channel communications, the board has agreed that the following
staff members or contractants shall be reporting to the following people.
For all office/administrative issues, staff (Barbara, Danny...) will report to Carolyn
Carolyn (operations) will report to Florence
Sandy (communication) will report to Florence
Brad (legal) will report to Florence
Danny (non administrative tasks, eg grants, special projects etc...) will report to Erik
Brion/Mark/Tim (tech) will report to Jan-Bart
Delphine (chapters) will report to Oscar
Due to their background, Oscar and Michael (are and) will be very involved in financial
and audit considerations.
Jimbo is more focused on public relations and licenses discussions.
Kat is spending time on various legal-related, licenses discussions and is in charge of
an assignment not yet made public :-) (ahah! cabal!)
Florence Devouard
Chair of Wikimedia Foundation
