Hello Ole,

A lot of thanks for your brief but rather informative report. There is one
point (of your report) that is of most interest for us in WMUA:
> *The general assembly criticised the board soundly*

Would you please provide some idea (with some details if possible) what was
the main topics/subjects of the criticism? ...was that criticism unexpected
(so Board members were sudden) or there was something in advance - in
chapter mailing list or elsewhere?

You are the Formand at Wikimedia Danmark, right? I presume it's equivalent
to Chairman of the Board or President of WMDK. What is your own perception
of the criticism (particularly on Wikidag 2013) and critics?

Some our (WMUA) Board members tend to treat criticism as their
'demotivation', 'trolling to distract from creative&productive work', even
'shooting into the head from behind' etc. What about that in WMDK? I was
intend to ask such question anyhow, but my doubts vaporised when I noticed
this

twit and (with help of Google Translate) grasped Kim Bach' blog post.

Sincerely,
Pavlo
