Hello all,
I’m happy to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation leadership team has proposed an interim Executive Director, and the Board has given our full support. Starting on March 14th, current Chief Communications Officer Katherine Maher (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Katherine_(WMF)) will step into the role of interim Executive Director. We thank the C-levels for their careful consideration in this process, and Katherine for stepping up during this period of transition.
To pre-empt any suggestion of disharmony from the usual wikimedia-l agitators, I think it's worth mentioning that Katherine Maher was the most-supported nominee in staff discussions on the office wiki. (I mean the tally on https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/ED_transition)
