Hi Phoebe,
thanks for pointing to this!
I see that this year we only have one hour of board Q&A. I have always seen
a lot of value in these board discussions, especially when it can come to
actually that: discussions. As there are several discussion sessions
scheduled, without a specific topic, would you and perhaps a few other
board members be willing to commit to use some of these sessions to dig a
bit deeper into a few specific topics? For example, would there be three
board members willing to have a round table discussion about transparency
and openness at a board level?
I'd be interested in participating in this one - but cannot take the lead
on making it happen.
Do let us know if this does get fixed during wikimania. Cannot make it 9
Aug 2-4 when there's another meeting, but open to other times.
Best
Bishakha

Hi all,
Every year at Wikimania the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees hosts
a
panel where they take questions from the audience
on the work of the WMF
and the Board.
In past years the board has also taken questions via IRC. This year we'd
also like to provide the opportunity to leave questions on a wiki page
ahead of time:
http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Board_Q%26A
While there is only time to answer a few questions during the session
itself, hopefully this will be a good way of getting questions from
attendees as well as from those who can't make it. The board will also
take
questions from the audience at Wikimania, as time
permits.
Remember the Board doesn't deal directly with work on or problems on the
projects, and does not have a direct hand in how the WMF operates
day-to-day. Rather, the board thinks about the big picture, and gives
direction on strategy for the WMF. You can find out more about what the
board does (and does not do) here:

best,
phoebe
