Optional questions - Strategic Thinking
Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? The Wikimedia Board of Trustees needs diversity to maintain neutrality. I will add new users who respect the Wikimedia rules well without the intervention of mediators or relatives to maintain neutrality and the institution. The steps that must be followed are to add new blood to the institution to renew thought and constructive ideas to expand the institution’s activity and maintain its effectiveness.
