That's really helpful Chris.
So glad that we've all moved on and forgotten about events that happened so long ago that my grandparents, uncle, niece, and three relatives that did not have proper funerals last year were alive back then.
I guess there's more important things for us volunteers to worry about.
Cheers, Fae

Yes, that's true. Though so far in Wikimedia UK's history, we've always trusted the Board to appoint a Chair who's effective in the post. It's mainly worked pretty well, and I have a lot of confidence in the current Board to find someone good.
However, it is worth thinking about what happens if someone turns out to be a poor Chair. In which case, it's a simple matter for the Board to remove them - there only needs to be a majority vote in a board meeting. Or more likely, they'll quickly get the message and resign before they're sacked.
