Hi Lila, et al
I have some one question for you.
I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around how the grant
information you posted lead to WMF BoT voting James Heilman of the board in
a vote of no-confidence.
Something just doesn't add up here.
Any chance you can publish the actual grant application from the WMF to the
Knight Foundation?
I am guessing that the devil will be in those details; details which thus
far the WMF has kept completely under wraps.
I look forward to you releasing the grant application at your earliest
convenience.
Warm regards,
Ruslan Takayev

Hi Anthony,
I know this request was for the Board, but I took time to explain as much
as I could about the context of this grant and the work it funds as well as
to answer as many questions as possible that I have seen. I realize many
people a curious about what it actually funds, so you will find the
statement of work cut and pasted there.
