[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Input on new models

[Dominic McDevitt-Parks]

Thanks for that information. The resolution doesn't actually spell out that
AffCom is not working on the partnerships, except implicitly by failing to
mention movement partners along with the other three (which I hadn't even
realized on first reading). Will the movement roles discussion at the Board
meeting be resolving the partnership process too, or is it mostly just
about AffCom?
