You all missed a little item in that announcement:
QUOTE
Once a candidate pool is developed, interviews will be held. The
interviewing process will likely include at a minimum Sue Gardner,
Erik Moeller, Cyn Skyberg, Kat Walsh, Arne Klempert, and Barry
Newstead. There will probably also be others involved (e.g., possibly
additional board members, and possibly additional members of the
senior staff), but that’s the skeleton plan we have right now.
That's likely to be a list of WMF's highest holy epopts. Cross one of them, and kiss your ass goodbye.
And no doubt the politics between them are getting quite toxic right now. I would not be surprised
to see either Moeller or Newstead pushed out next.
Ms. Gardner is a toxic, evil woman--or so the scuttlebutt has been claiming.
Dunno myself, but she is clearly a manipulative creature.
