You're the one who set up the board such that you and your Bomis
partners permanently control 3/5 of the votes.  If you're at the
forefront of advocating board expansion, you certainly haven't been
doing so very loudly.  And I wonder who it is that's against it.

Looking at the recent changes to the foundation wiki, I see
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution_President, affirming
you as President and authorizing you to make certain decisions,
"failed to gain Board support".  I wonder: Who proposed that
resolution?  Who voted for it?  Who voted against it?

Since this is such a "transparent organization", I suppose I won't
wonder these things too long.
