Dear Bishakha,
could you please elaborate why the board has chosen for a secretive
amendment procedure here, rather than sharing the proposed amendments with
the community and asking their input on it? Especially where it concerns
such non-trivial changes.
I hope that also other board members will share their view on this process,
and why they didn't ask input of the community themselves. I would have
expected such questions especially from those board members that were
(s)elected by the community and/or the chapters. Do you consider such
community discussions unwanted? Was there an exceptional legal threat that
required these changes at short notice?
Kind regards,
Lodewijk

Just reiterating for the n-th time on this list that
people would
appreciate if you publicly shared draft bylaws amendments before approving
them.
The consistent lack of transparency in such fundamental decisions within
the WMF is always astonishing.
After the fact, I'd appreciate a readable resolution or diff as both

are useless.
