Fae has opened a discussion on the UK wiki water cooler on a current discussions within WMUK Board to institute a concept of collective responsibility[1].

This is an absolutely horrendous proposal and goes right against the heart of the principles of openness and transparency which underpins the Wikimedia movement, and upon which Wikimedia UK was founded on. Even the WMF Board now list individual trustees' votes on a resolution[2]. This is nothing more than a half-assed attempt to hide division within the heart of the current board of trustees that only serve to reduce accountability of individual trustee and damages the chapter.

Whoever proposed this, shame on you!
