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,
