In the very looong discussion re actions made by the Board, I want to high-light two comments been made.I see them as good summaries and hope they can be seen as conclusions and base to look into possible improvement in processes

On James removal 2016-01-10 kl. 09:04, by MZMcBride:

* evaluate whether the Wikimedia Foundation bylaws should be changed to make it more difficult (or easier) to remove a Board of Trustees member;

* strongly urge the Board of Trustees to be more transparent and communicative, embracing the values that keep our projects running; and

* evaluate the process for filling community-selected Board of Trustees seats, perhaps changing the seats to be community-elected.

On appointment of Arnnon Geshuri 2016-01-09 kl. 22:21, by Pete Forsyth:

(1) The Board did not apparently do basic due diligence in looking into his background (2) Mr. Geshuri himself did not highlight the Google firing issue to the board prior to his appointment.
