This may be a heretic question but I'd like to pose it anyway: why should it be necessary or appropriate for the Foundation to discuss this subject with the project communities? How does this appointment have any impact on the activities within the projects?
If the WMF board has no impact on the projects why does the WMF exist? Wikimedia is a community driven movement, big decisions should be made by the community.
