We also appointed someone to one of the vacant
expertise seats appointed
by the board. His name is Matt Halprin, and in brief, Matt is with the
Omidyar Network and a former eBay executive who was in charge of trust
and safety there. Matt has met with a number of us over the past several
months, and I invited him to join us in Buenos Aires and meet the entire
board. The Omidyar Network is very interested in supporting our strategy
development discussions, and I look forward to having Matt's experience
and insight as we continue with the process. Matt's initial appointment
is for a term until December 31, at which time it will be reviewed like
the other appointed seats.
Omidyar Network? They were involved with a 4 million funding round for
wikia back in 2006 no?

Appointing yet another person with wikia links looks kinda dicey no?
