As for the future, just as you do, I hope that
the disappearance of the
chapter coordinator role will indeed be an energy shot, a reboot, a new
birth, and that in the future, the WMF and the chapters will
successfully cooperate to ensure a worldwide positive presence.
I expect more presence and will and strength from the chapter committee
members than they have showed till now, to help us progress in this
direction. I also hope that the board of Wikimedia Foundation will
rapidly name a new board representative as a gesture to prove their
interest to work with the little sisters of WMF.
You will forgive me if I am more than a little confused by
that hope. What gesture above and beyond already having
instituted several (rather than a single designated) positions
on the board selected by the chapters, would you actually
want to see? And what do you mean "rapidly"? I am totally
unable to understand where these hopes spring from.
Surely gestures by the board are totally irrelevant at this
point.

The chapter committee membership includes mandatorily a board
representative.
As of today, this representative is Frieda.

PS: in case you missed the new, Frieda resigned (quit) some time ago
