This announcement was sent out on the 12th, and refers to a meeting on the 13th which would have been just enough time, I suppose, to raise a point directly with a Board member before the meeting. However, the web page referred to, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_board_agenda_2016-11 states that the meeting was on the 11-12th, in other words, before the announcement was made. So, when exactly was this meeting? And would it not be helpful to the community to give enough notice to allow for a resonable probability of bringing forward an issue?

The board had a retreat the 11th and the 12th and a board meeting today, the 13th.
I approved the agenda last minute, hence the late publication.
We try to publish it as early as possible, in that instance because of my tardiness to approved it it was published yesterday.
Have à good day :)

It is worth noting in this context that although in-person board meetings take place at fixed times, the board is in constant communication between meetings, and it is possible and welcomed to bring forward issues to board members at any time, and the kinds of issues that the board grapples with are seldom short-term one-off decisions, but require thought and reflection over a long period of time.
