Denny, regarding "The formal task force was created end of October. This
task force involved outside legal counsel and conducted professional fact
finding."
Who was on the task force, besides you and Patricio? What do you mean by
"professional fact finding?"
Regarding, "The official task force, set up by the Trustees, worked under
the standards of keeping confidentiality, obviously. I thought this goes
without saying, but I am explicating it."
This is still ambiguous. Was the new task force expecting James to share
information that was given to him on the understanding he wouldn't share
it?
As a general point, crises always start out messy. That you moved from an
ad hoc inquiry to a formal one is perfectly normal. Characterising the
initial attempt to understand the situation as "unprofessional" and the
next (that excluded James) as "professional", if that's what you're
doing,
strikes me as a bit sly.

On the other hand, I however, had requested
multiple times before the
November board meeting to see what information those 5 investigation
board
members were looking at. I was denied access to
these details. Some of
the
documents contained key information I only become
aware of in the last
couple of months.
*This* is breathtakingly crappy governance by the WMF board. Trustees
are trustees, there's no "grade A" trusted trustees and lesser "grade
B" less trusted trustees.
We are overdue to clear out the self-selected "grade A" trustees that
have become far too used to claiming that they are irreplaceable and
have unique talents. There's a vast pool of community members with
fantastic experience to choose from, and who have absolutely no
undeclared commercial conflicts of interest, or are seeking to puff up
the 'tech' side of their resumeés, so they can charge higher fees for
speaking engagements or attract contracts as special advisors for
politicians.
Thanks for factually explaining events more clearly James.
