Congratulations to Katy, welcome to your new assignment.
I'm very sorry that Ruslan Takayev's message got through the moderation IMHO his statement and remarks are not respectful
it was essential to have someone appointed to fill Siko's position quickly an obviously quickly often means someone who is knowledgeable, and acquainted with the environment of the job and role , Katy seems the choice from a very limited list best suited to quickly assume the responsability
I was very sad, upset even by Sikoś departure - and i would love to turn the clock back - but given the vancay, i'm glad that Katy has been selected imho she has the capability and the personality to do a good job, she knows the people at WMF and she knows the Affiliates

Hello, Ruslan.
Yes, Katy is stepping into the role in a permanent, full-time basis.
Determining HR direction is not my role. :) Stating how the Board feels about open hiring is also not my place (and I don't know). But I am happy to share my own opinion.
That said, ... leadership of Community Engagement, ... for which I hope to see many community applicants.
Best,
Maggie

Maggie, et al
Is Katy "stepping into" the role on a full-time, permanent basis?
I ask this question, as questions I asked relating to the "new, open approach" towards recruitment at the WMF are yet to be answered[1] and I don't recall there being any advertisements as a call for applications to fill Siko's position.
TBH, this doesn't sound like a "new, open approach" towards recruitment at the WMF, but more of the same..."jobs for the boys".
Comment would be welcome Maggie.
Warm regards,
Ruslan Takayev

Hello, all.
I am delighted to announce that Katy Love has agreed to step into the
role
of Director of Resources in the Community Engagement department, picking
up
the baton so ably carried by Siko Bouterse before her. Katy has been with the Wikimedia Foundation since January 2013, beginning as the first
program
officer to work with the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC). I’m
grateful
to her for moving into this role and am looking forward to collaborating with her closely in WMF’s Community Engagement department.
We will be hiring her replacement to oversee the FDC/full annual plan grants program in the weeks ahead.
Best regards,
Maggie
