Dear Dariusz,

I am surprised your post has not attracted more attention. It's probably because you did not spell out what the adopted recommendation involves. It says (my emphases):[1]

The Board of Trustees wants to improve the set of skills and the diversity contributed by newly selected trustees. For this reason, the Board has approved a new process to select two community-and-affiliate trustees this year. The objective is to have two trustees confirmed by October 1st. Affiliates will vote to pre-select 6 candidates. A community vote will decide who from these 6 candidates will be recommended for the two seats.

This is a fundamental change to the WMF board election process. Many people will feel that this further disenfranchises the volunteer community. 

The effect of this is that the two seats which were in the past solely elected by the Wikimedia Affiliates will now be elected through this combined model where the affiliates shortlist 6 candidates and the community elects two of them.

That is, to my mind, enfranchising the volunteer community to a greater extent.
