経営会議

Kelly and Dariusz introduced some considerations about Board internal governance. Prior to the meeting, Board members took an informal survey about governance and, at the request of some Board members, Geoff and Stephen prepared a draft set of basic best-practice recommendations for the Board's consideration. The Board discussed some general themes from the survey, including confidentiality and transparency, making public statements, incorporating feedback from the Wikimedia community, working with Wikimedia Foundation executive staff, and other topics. Board members discussed some ideas for increasing transparency, while respecting necessary confidentiality, and clear communication about the Board's discussions and activity.

María and Dariusz were tasked with preparing a proposal for a lightweight structure to increase transparency, which they will bring to a Board meeting for future discussion.

The Board reviewed a set of immediate governance recommendations, including a draft Code of Conduct and Confidentiality Agreement. The Board discussed the importance of including transparency among the governance improvements. The Board will provide detailed feedback on the recommendations following the meeting, and then the final documents will be considered in April.

• Note, the description of governance recommendations is available here.
