Denny, regarding "The formal task force was created end of October. This task force involved outside legal counsel and conducted professional fact finding."
Who was on the task force, besides you and Patricio? What do you mean by "professional fact finding?"
Regarding, "The official task force, set up by the Trustees, worked under the standards of keeping confidentiality, obviously. I thought this goes without saying, but I am explicating it."
This is still ambiguous. Was the new task force expecting James to share information that was given to him on the understanding he wouldn't share it?
As a general point, crises always start out messy. That you moved from an ad hoc inquiry to a formal one is perfectly normal. Characterising the initial attempt to understand the situation as "unprofessional" and the next (that excluded James) as "professional", if that's what you're doing, strikes me as a bit sly.

On the other hand, I however, had requested multiple times before the November board meeting to see what information those 5 investigation
board
members were looking at. I was denied access to these details. Some of

documents contained key information I only become aware of in the last couple of months.
*This* is breathtakingly crappy governance by the WMF board. Trustees are trustees, there's no "grade A" trusted trustees and lesser "grade B" less trusted trustees.
We are overdue to clear out the self-selected "grade A" trustees that have become far too used to claiming that they are irreplaceable and have unique talents. There's a vast pool of community members with fantastic experience to choose from, and who have absolutely no undeclared commercial conflicts of interest, or are seeking to puff up the 'tech' side of their resumeés, so they can charge higher fees for speaking engagements or attract contracts as special advisors for politicians.
Thanks for factually explaining events more clearly James.
