Secondly, and this is directed more at the Board, I understand that Sue has been hired as a "consultant and special advisor" and not as Executive Director at least partly because of immigration-related restrictions on the work she is presently entitled to perform in the United States. Will the Board be providing the community with a description of the position "consultant and special advisor"? Are there any substantive differences between this position and that of Executive Director?

I see no particular reason not to post Sue's job description, but I'll ask the Chair to confirm that.

The differences between a Board-level consultant and a freshly minted ED aren't that great, as the Board needs to build a trust relationship with this new staff member in either case. Beyond 3-6 months in the future, should the professional relationship develop as expected, this status will become too limiting, and I hope the remaining constraints can be removed within that timeframe.

Hello

I am sorry, but I was not able to find an internet connection in the past 36 hours, and will probably be off for the week end. That was my last move of june (*relief*).

So, yeah, things to be done

* publish Sue job description on Foundation wiki (not done yet) * remove the reference for ED position being searched (apparently done) on foundation * create her asap a sgardner at wikimedia.org * add Sue to foundation-l, internal-l and internal wiki, office wiki, wmfcc-l, juriwiki-l, private-l, wikimania-l, wikimania-planning-l, fundcom-l. * add her on staff page on foundation wiki * add her biography on foundation wiki * add the press release on foundation wiki * add announcement on foundation wiki (news) with links to pages "press release" and biography * then breath and wait till monday :-)
