Just had a look through the proposals; a reasonable start, but a lot to do. I'm not totally impressed with D'arcys plan overall, and I am concerned a lot of effort has been expended on this plan, at the expense of day-to-day operations of the. Charity (critical for a successful transitional role, typical of a downsizer CEO). There may be more to the plan for the future that has yet to be revealed (the process has been too non-transparent to date).
Very narrowed focus, but on things the charity does well, so that's nice. The lack of education is fairly concerning, Toni was an important asset.
Losing Kat is a huge blow.

FWIW I've had no communication about whether the charity wishes to retain my services as a contractor. So your guess is as good as mine :)

The page seems to be in the process of being updated, see:
https://wikimedia.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Staff&diff=65842&oldid=63946
It sounds like Katherine Bavage, Toni Sant, Katie Chan, Jonathan Cardy and Fabian Tompsett have been let go, which is really sad news. :-(
(Also: Davina Johnson seems to have become a member of staff rather than a contractor? It's not clear what's happened with the tech contractors: they seem to have been removed from the page with no clear answer on their future role...)
Thanks,
Mike
