The passing of Louise is really sad :(
On the other fronts, Edouard it feels like you're not telling things the way they really are.
"The board acknowledge..." means the board has been forced to a new AGM by 25% of the member. Our bylaws dictate that.
The board has published a shameful "Right of reply" [1], full of inexact/false statements that are on the same line than the email sent by the board on July 11th (and shared here by Chris [2]). This Right of reply even "use" Louise passing ... For shame!
In an uncollaborative way, the board has not listen to the community/member for the agenda which forces the members to a new vote [3] to add items to the agenda ... during the summer ... and Wikimania.
I hope the board will have again to "Acknowlege" the voice of the community, but I wish we did not had to go this way.
I am truly ashamed of this board,

Dear Édouard and our other colleagues at Wikimédia France,
We are sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Louise Merzeau. While I
did
not have a chance to meet her, I understand she was an advocate for
the
Commons movement and a leading academic on digital identities and the relationship between technology and culture. I suspect we would have
gotten
along well.
Although she did not get to share her knowledge longer, we are
grateful
for
the contributions she made. I have no doubt Wikimedia would have
benefited
greatly from her continued advocacy.
I recognize with everything that is going on, an event like this can quickly pass by without enough notice and tribute from all of us.
However,
I hope we can pause to recognize that, above all, we are people who
have
come together under a shared vision for a better future. The passion
and
bond that unites us are much stronger than any disagreements or
challenges.
Louise was a part of that vision, and we owe it to her to recognize
her
passing.
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation, please know that she is in our thoughts and that the community has our condolences.
Katherine
PS. I encourage you to learn more about Mrs. Merzeau and her life from
