Fae has opened a discussion on the UK wiki water cooler on a current
discussions within WMUK Board to institute a concept of collective
responsibility[1].
This is an absolutely horrendous proposal and goes right against the
heart of the principles of openness and transparency which underpins the
Wikimedia movement, and upon which Wikimedia UK was founded on. Even the
WMF Board now list individual trustees' votes on a resolution[2]. This
is nothing more than a half-assed attempt to hide division within the
heart of the current board of trustees that only serve to reduce
accountability of individual trustee and damages the chapter.
Whoever proposed this, shame on you!
