[Foundation-l] Wikimedia movement roles project

[Lodewijk]

Hi Austin,

thanks for sending around. Could you just give a link to where exactly on
the wiki you would "the discussion" (very broad term :) ) like to take
place? Which topics do you especially invite people to discuss /now/?

Also the meeting notes mention "The first deliverable, a formal proposal to
the Board at its October meeting, was discussed. A first draft will be sent
to the workgroup in the next few days." - is this draft going to be public
as intended initially? (I hope so :) - would love to give some more input
there)

Best,

Lodewijk

> * Bence Damokos
> * Bishakha Datta
> * Galileo Vidoni
> * Jon Huggett (facilitator and adviser)
> * Morgan Chan
> * Samuel Klein
