I was subliminally aware of your assist in Nemo's protest to Lila.
What nobody is prepared to acknowledge is that only under Lila's term some of the most blatant and egregious instances of coordinated PR socking and on-wiki abuses could come out.
1) WIKI-PR (250 sock accounts) 2) Orange Moody(350+ accounts) 3) DeCoetzee 4) Wifione 5) Cuntgate - Eric Corbett 6) Gamergate
How long will WMF/BoT keep denying that there are persons in high positions of trust (remember Essjay) who are misusing Wikipedia for personal profit and in ways detrimental to the Terms of Use. Surely it would be the simplest thing for WMF to insist on verification of WMF user accounts, to ensure that minors cannot edit, or else to ensure that anonymous editors must take responsibility for defamatory/biased content..

so reading your email, we also recall these quotes from the time of the Stanton Foundation fiasco ? [1]
"The Executive Director and Chief Revenue Officer agree that in the future, any grants that are not unrestricted will receive a special high level of scrutiny before being accepted." .. "The ED plans, with the C-level team, to develop a better process for staff to escalate and express concerns about any WMF activities that staff think may in tension with, or in violation of, community policies or best practices. It will take some time to develop a simple, robust process: we aim to have it done by 1 May 2014."
I'm not sure if there's a question for me here? I wasn't involved in the Belfer project until the postmortem. The ED transition happened shortly thereafter. Regardless of whether it came up in that context (I don't know for sure, but I doubt it), the follow-up was lost in the shuffle. Nemo pointed that out a few months later, and Lila's final response on the issue is here:
