Phoebe,
On this agenda, could you give more detail about the topic "Paid editing discussion"? There is a current discussion on EN at the Village Pump regarding, among other things, PR personnel who edit on Wikipedia in ways that might violate NPOV and COI policy. It would be good to know if the Board is taking up this specific subject. Alternatively, if "paid editing discussion" instead is about editors which will be paid by WMF to edit, I think the community would want to know that this is will be discussed.
Thanks,
Pine

Hi all,
The WMF Board of Trustees is planning our winter meeting for next weekend. The draft agenda is posted here for comment: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Board_Meetings/February_3-4,_2012
This is a very full agenda, focusing on three main topics: the WMF annual planning process for 2012/2013, fundraising and funds dissemination models, and the movement roles process.
-- Phoebe (Board of Trustees Secretary, 2011-2012)

Pine: the former, I believe; I haven't heard anything about the latter :)
Beria: the calendar is posted here -- http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_and_Funds_Dissemination As I understand it we are going to try to get quite indepth into the recommendations at this meeting, and see if there is consensus to date, but not take a final vote.

Just adding to what Phoebe said (and sorry to top-post): my recommendations are not finalized and have not been submitted formally to the Board. I don't intend to submit them as-is: they will be shaped by the discussion that's been happening thus far, by my own evolving views, and by input from the Board at its meeting. What I am looking for out of the Board meeting is to get nearer to a consensus WRT what direction we want to take.
