Dear all,
I wanted to inform you that starting today James Heilman joins the Board Governance Committee (BGC) as a volunteer and advisory member [1]. That means that he will be working with the BGC as a non-voting member, together with Ira B. Matetsky, Gayle Karen Young, Tim Moritz Hector, Ido Ivry and Kat Walsh [2].
The BGC believes that in case James is approved by the Board as a Board member [3] it would also be a good onboarding opportunity for him.
=== James Heilman === James Heilman is “an active contributor to WikiProject Medicine, is a volunteer Wikipedia administrator, was the president of Wikimedia Canada between 2010 and 2013, and founded and was formerly the president of Wiki Project Med Foundation. He is also the founder of WikiProject Medicine's Medicine Translation Task Force. In June 2015, he was elected to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, a position which he held until he was removed on December 28, 2015” [4]. He is among top three candidates for the community selected seats selected by the community to be recommended to the Board for approval, according to the results from the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection process [5].
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me.

Thank you, Nataliia and James.
This appointment continues a trend of decisions and steps from the BGC since Nataliia took the committee chair role that I think are good.

Do you have a position or preliminary views you would like to share with the community about Board Governance? Is there anything specific you will be seeking to look into, or change, or start, or stop. Are there areas for improvement or is everything fine? In particular, do you think that Board-Community relations need any attention from the Governance Committee?

In case? Is there doubt regarding his upcoming appointment?

Of course there is a doubt. The Community runs a process which for presentational purposes is called an election, but only to put forward potential new Borard members. The appointment is entirely in the hands of the Board. They can accept or reject the names put forward by the Community, or select someone else from that list, or soeone else entirely. Given that the Board chose to remove James prevously, for reasons that have never been made clear to the Community, it is within the bounds of possibility that they might decline to appoint him again. I do not think that would be wise, or very popular wth the Community, but it is for the Board, and the Board alone, to decide.
