I am not so good introduced in WMF/office structure. I may suppose
something like:

>> * should it be the board job to write down a letter of support to help
>> an editor get access to a museum to take pictures ?

In general, this is the job of local chapters. However, we covered
approximately 0,5% of countries of the world, so in 95,5% it should be
WMF. However, there are some exceptions: I am sure that WM PL may
write a support letter for people from Czech Republic or WM NL and WM
FR for people from Belgium etc. And even WM UK for the people from
Commonwealth.

I suppose that *WMF stuff* in this case should be volunteers organized
by chief of volunteers (which should be payed position).

If not a local chapter, then WMF stuff should mean volunteer lawyers
organized by chief lawyer (which should be payed position).

Chief of volunteers.
