The idea of a non-voting seat for a non C-level employee is something that
I could support.

I stopped responding to other emails because the
significance of this
moment is so large, that we have now we didn't have since the
beginnings of Wikipedia.
We've got the chance to rebuild the movement.
I was about to write something like this, lots of ideas are arising but I
fear most of will be lost in confusion.
You proved to be capable. Last couple of weeks I
read many insightful
emails from you, WMF employees -- some of them I didn't know at all. I
heard thoughts I've never heard before on this list. They've been born
in pain and you mustn't lose them.
Now you have the opportunity to lead *the* change. You are not anymore
just the most organized part of the movement, you've just articulated
yourself as capable to make the change you want to.
Working at WMF implies two kind of expectations: ...money! (Job -> salary,
simply!) but also a lot of moral/ethical expectations. What went wrong with
a stricter management were those expectations being frustrated. There's a
certain turnover between the volunteers and the paid staff, which should
never be forgot.
In a future board composition I think a seat (maybe non voting) for
employees could avoid (or at least warn against) catastrophic failures in
management.
