I would like to comment on the search and requirement criteria. In particular, I'd like to know [...] I would love to know any of this far more than anything about branding.
Yes, but what would you *do* with the answers to all those questions? You're not on the search committee, so it seems that what you want is for the WMF to answer questions from the 36 million or so account holders, and get 36 million comments. That's useless to them and to us. I think what you really mean is that you want (1) for yourself as opposed to the movement in general to be personally involved in the decision-making process, probably so that you can (2) promote your pet notions about privacy, back-doors in hardware and other opinons. Perhaps you should try standing for election to a community seat on the Board?
