I think everyone needs to calm down a little. Remember that we just got 2 million dollars to further our mission, and that the board seat appointment (which isn't an unusual practice, at least in my experience) does nothing to impede our work and the positive impact we can have. It's the exact opposite, in fact.
It is not unusual for many charities. It is unusual for a community driven charity like the WMF.
