[Foundation-l] A train without destination?

[Ziko van Dijk]

Dear Effe,

With all respect for your initiative, I am afraid that the main flaw of your
proposal is that you want to set a train on a track without destination. A
preliminary council that is allowed to define its powers itself will risk
not to find many supporters in the community. What is the need of an
advisory council if the Board does not has to accept the "advice"?
A commission that will report about the needs of the organisation and make a
sound proposal about the Wikimedia structure as a whole, that would be OK.
This proposal must respect that there already are the Board and the
chapters, consider the years old question of WMF membership, and find a
suitable general concept.
It seems to me that the most likely organ to install such a commission is
the Board.
