Congratulations to Katy, welcome to your new assignment.
I'm very sorry that Ruslan Takayev's message got through the moderation
IMHO his statement and remarks are not respectful
it was essential to have someone appointed to fill Siko's position
quickly an obviously
quickly often means someone who is knowledgeable, and acquainted with
the environment
of the job and role , Katy seems the choice from a very limited list
best suited to quickly
assume the responsability
I was very sad, upset even by Sikoś departure - and i would love to turn
the clock back -
but given the vancay, i'm glad that Katy has been selected imho she has
the capability
and the personality to do a good job, she knows the people at WMF and
she knows the Affiliates

Hello, Ruslan.
Yes, Katy is stepping into the role in a permanent, full-time basis.
Determining HR direction is not my role. :) Stating how the Board feels
about open hiring is also not my place (and I don't know). But I am happy
to share my own opinion.
That said, ... leadership of Community Engagement,
... for which I hope to see many community applicants.
Best,
Maggie
