From: Nathan nawrich@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Board statement of responsibility To: birgitte_sb@yahoo.com, "Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List" foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 12:57 PM I wonder what the rest of the Board thinks about this? I personally would prefer and ask that no document be signed by any board members without the unanimous consent of the Board, and that this not be presented as a requirement for any new Board members. Are there alternative versions of this statement? Are Mike and Sue open to reviewing alternative versions presented?
"Some time ago, the board received a new draft of its future "board statement of responsibility".[1]
"It is worth noting that this is a very preliminary draft"[2]
"What Florence has now shared is the first draft of that document. We're not at a stage of voting on or signing this either."[3]
I interperted all the emphasis on "draft" to mean that it is negotiable. And of course my speculation about about how things might work and the approach I might try is, as always, just speculation. I think I failed to fill up that last email with all the "I imagine" and "seems" that I normally go back and add.
