also hope that the current Board members will thoughtfully consider
whether it's in the best interests of the Wikimedia Foundation and the
larger Wikimedia movement for them to continue as Board members.
The instability that would result from large scale resignations of
Board members would be devastating to WMF.
That aside, under the best of circumstances, the volunteer BoT of WMF
are faced with an extremely demanding and challenging work load. And,
no volunteer board has the skill set to manage the problems that have
come up over the last few months and have escalated out of control.
I strongly encourage giving the BoT time to react to the most recent
comments, and develop a responsible plan of action.

Most of the board is actually rather new. Plus two members will possibly
(probably) change next summer. So asking for resignation is absolutely
not the right thing to do at the moment. We need the current members to
stick here. We need stability.
I will openly say that I am completely disappointed by the lack of
(official) communication from the board in the past couple of weeks (or
months). I thank Dariusz very much for maintaining a line of contact here.
But otherwise... I'd say we need to let the board do its job.
And we should rather reflect on how we can HELP them do that.
I think it is helpful for the board that the community AND the staff
give their frank opinion about what is going on so as to help them see
clear.
I think Molly timeline might be helpful for the board to get a better
grip of the important keypoints and opinions.
I think providing private insights to the board if relevant might be
helpful.
I think dropping them a private email to ask them if they are ok and
giving them a bit of wikilove might be helpful.
And probably other things.
