Hi Lodewijk,
I like the idea of having more opportunities to talk and to try out
different approaches.
That was the reason for Patricio and me to offer a Chapters Lunch Meeting
on Sunday, where we want to talk about the role of Chapters Selected Board
members, expectations, limitations, and the relationship we have. I read
your suggestion like something similar, concentrating more on particular
issues and diving somehow deeper into the subject. And yes, I would be glad
to participate if it matches with my schedule.
Alice.

Hi Phoebe,
thanks for pointing to this!
I see that this year we only have one hour of board Q&A. I have always
seen
a lot of value in these board discussions,
especially when it can come to
actually that: discussions. As there are several discussion sessions
scheduled, without a specific topic, would you and perhaps a few other
board members be willing to commit to use some of these sessions to dig a
bit deeper into a few specific topics? For example, would there be three
board members willing to have a round table discussion about transparency
and openness at a board level?
I'd be interested in participating in this one - but cannot take the lead
on making it happen.
Do let us know if this does get fixed during wikimania. Cannot make it 9
Aug 2-4 when there's another meeting, but open to other times.
Best
Bishakha

to provide the opportunity to leave questions on a wiki page
ahead of time:

While there is only time to answer a few questions during the session
itself, hopefully this will be a good way of getting questions from
attendees as well as from those who can't make it. The board will also

and does not have a direct hand in how the WMF operates
day-to-day. Rather, the board thinks about the big picture, and gives
direction on strategy for the WMF. You can find out more about what the
board does (and does not do) here:
