Dear Anirudh,

Also, as long as I am not signing off with my official credentials at the end of the email, I am only expressing personal opinion. "

"We will discuss overlapping roles and notify the community about our decision."
"I referred to "we" as in the Executive Committee of the WMIN.  Please note that I did not express an opinion on the behalf of the EC, I simply said that this will be discussed."

If you are expressing your view as a Chapter Board Member, please state so. ( The rest cannot differentiate when you are replying from your personal id).  I wish you had stated instead "I will discuss this with the rest of the EC or Chapter members".

Having said that, the chapter doesn't impose our decision on the community or the India Programs, Although I personally see Chapter as a subset of the larger community.

I did not express an opinion or a view.  Please look up the dictionary definition.  I think we have had enough distractions from the main issue, so let's burn the straw-man.

Theo,

" Err... I have no idea who or what implied that. "

I am referring to your previous full time and paid work for the Wikimedia Foundation 2010-2011

" I don't think anyone said anything to that effect so far. "


Look at the similar comments from Anirudh on this thread related to people like Shiju and Subhashish. 


"does that mean all the volunteer work you would have done before/after or during being a full time and paid staff of Foundation cease to have any value ?"

When did I say their work is not valued?  The employees of the WMF do valuable work, they are not volunteers.  Is saying this a devaluation of their work?  Please be careful when attributing claims such as these.  Thanks.

Dear Anirudh,
Can you elaborate as to what you meant by "we" ?

My statement: "We will discuss overlapping roles and notify the community about our decision."

I referred to "we" as in the Executive Committee of the WMIN.  Please note that I did not express an opinion on the behalf of the EC, I simply said that this will be discussed.
