Hey All
I am excited to have rejoined the board of the WMF during Wikimania. As per the requirements of the position I have stepped down from the board of WPMEDF. Shani Evenstein has taken over the role of chair. I will remain associated with the organization as a special advisory and funder. I have also not re-run for the board of WMCA but am leaving that organization in the excellent hands of Benoit and the rest of the board.

James, thank you for making a public statement. It sets a healthy tone for good governance and transparency of how interests are managed.
Does anyone know if WMF board members will ever be required to make public statements about perceived conflicts of loyalties, or indeed actual commercial conflicts of interest? It may be a good subject for the Wikimedia Foundation Board Governance Committee to set down a best practice for.
Thanks, Fae
