She was talking about Michael and Eric leaving the board (damn it) and then said, ?I feel there are two paths for the future. Either we keep a board mostly made of community members (elected or appointed), who may not be top-notch professionals, who can do mistakes ??.., but who can breath and pee wikimedia projects, dedicate their full energy to a project they love, without trying to put their own interest in front. A decentralized organization where chapters will have more room, authority and leadership. ****** There was a point I made that got lost in the shuffle: these are not necessarily binary choices. I suggest we look very carefully at the subset of volunteer contributors who also have the career experience suitable for board membership.
