[Wikimedia-l] Your support is wanted: The WMF Board of Trustees is looking for a new Board member

[Nathan]

Cyrano - I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature
of the Board. It is self-perpetuating in every respect; the elections
are advisory only, and the actual appointment of Board members is
executed by the existing Board. The organization has no members, and
no one who is not on the Board has any power or authority to exercise
over the Board or the WMF. This merely describes the legal reality of
the WMF and the Board.
