hi,
Since I am one of the few people in the movement who spoke to Arnnon
face-to-face, I want to write that he is a really modest, while
sparking-bright person, explicitly enthusiastic about Wikimedia and free
knowledge.
I want to thank him for his maturity and confirming in action the
willingness to support our movement in any way it needs. While it was the
right thing to do, it could not have been easy, and I have to say I really
respect that.
best,
Dariusz

Thank you, Patricio.
And thank you, Arnnon. I am sure this must have been difficult for
you, that you had every intention of bringing your best work to the
role, and that your considerable experience and skills would have been
valuable. I appreciate your willingness to step up to the task, which
is not a small thing to ask of anyone, and now in light of the
challenges and complications it would bring, your willingness to step
down.

Dear All,
Throughout the discussion about the appointment of Arnnon Geshuri to the
Board of Trustees, the Board has carefully listened to you and discussed
internally. Earlier today, Arnnon decided to step down from the Board. To
paraphrase his words, he doesn't want to be a distraction for the
important
discussions that the community and the Foundation
need to face in the
times
to come. We want to thank Arnnon for his ongoing
commitment and for
helping
us to move forward.
The Board Governance Committee is working to improve and update our
selection processes before we fill the vacancy left by Arnnon’s
departure.
We are sorry for the distress and confusion this
has caused to some in
our
community, and also to Arnnon.
Patricio and Alice
----
Patricio Lorente
Chair, Board of Trustees
Alice Wiegand
Vice Chair, Board of Trustees
