Alice, thanks for the update.
I'm broadly hopeful; delegating with your staff's C level team is an excellent step I very much like to see happening.
I would very much like to make sure that communications lines open further between the board and their C levels and below, and that those continue to rebuild the health of the organization.
Define some boxes for us, just not alone. :) We're all in this together.

Hi all, short update, as announced by Patricio:
Our organization needs stability, it needs a chance to rest for a moment and to move on with the things that matter at the same time. That’s why the Board is aiming for a quick decision about the interim ED.
If you want to make a difference you need to act differently.
We know that our C-level team is doing a great job in managing the day-to-day-operations and they all have a deep understandning of our culture, challenges and needs. Who, if not them, knows better what is best for the organization in this moment. The Board is not best suited to make a decision about the interim which can quickly be established and accepted in this situation.
Therefor the board empowers the entire C-level-team to come up with a solution for the interim question. We leave it up to them how that decisions looks like. We trust them to think traditional or outside of the box as it fits to our organization, the Wikimedia Foundation. The C-level-team needs some time to deliberate and decide. They will present their result to the board which has to vote on it. We plan to finalize until the end of next week.
Alice.
