The likeliest source of external distraction is probably media resulting from a reputational issue, such as editorial scandal or perceived organizational impropriety. Risk of editorial scandal can't be mitigated: there is an inherent level of risk that we cannot side-step. Risk of organizational impropriety is unlikely at the WMF due to its experienced leadership team and well-established controls. However, the risk is greater within the chapters, which are young and primarily run by volunteers with little experience.
