If you are right that the board is split on this (and I expect you are), then what seems to be happening is that they can't make a decision so they are telling the staff to make it for them. That is really not the way a board of trustees should work.
From my experience, this is not how we work.
There is no question of the staff making decisions for the Board, because we cannot do so!

I don't want to single out *anything*. However, in all fairness, much of the acrimony about how WMF is doing "business as usual" could have been avoided with even just that little bit of transparency. It is rather grotesque for people on the board of trustees complaining folks in the community aren't aware of their real views, when they don't air those views to the public.
