[Wikimedia-l] Board resolutions on bylaw amendments and appointment of Foundation staff officers

[Thomas Dalton]

Bishaka,

Seeing as there was no public discussion of these amendments, to my
knowledge, can you at least explain them now?

The responsibilities of the Secretary and Treasurer are board
responsibilities. While the day-to-day work of the role may be delegated to
staff, it is still the job of the board to ensure that everything is done
correctly. How does the board intend to do that in future? Have individual
trustees been appointed as liaisons to these new officers? Or are there
committees to oversee their work?
