:Hi {{ping|Rogol Domedonfors}} actually, I went to have dinner. :) It is late in my corner of the world. But you are right that I don't feel I am the best person to address that question. Neither Kelly or I were involved in the decision process that led to the appointment of Arnnon (I assume you mean that). And for the disparagement comment, I imagine you have a specific example in mind or you wouldn't mention it. So maybe add it to your comment? I mean, I could say I have made no derogatory comments about another trustee or past trustee ever, but I wouldn't necessarily know what every other single trustee has done on other projects, languages or social media. But going to your main point: I do see that that page is a draft, and it might be interesting to ping Anthere to check its history. If we do not have an official equivalent, it could be interesting that the BGC takes it upon itself to develop something along those lines, some kind of code of conduct for trustees. I think it would be a very interesting idea. Kind regards, [[User:Raystorm|Raystorm]] ([[User talk:Raystorm#top|talk]]) 22:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

::Thank you for your prompt response. It is indeed late, in the metaphorical as well as the literal sense. I am asking very simple questions, which are quite explicit, and can in principle be answered either Yes or No. They are intended to stimulate a productive and constructive discussion between members of the Board and of the community about what the expectations are of the Board, in the light of certain recent events -- it is not intended to rehash those events but to try and develop a productive dialogue going forward. If it were to be agreed that the draft captures the expectations the Board sets itself then it might be appropriate to discuss whether it has fallen short of those expectations in any specific instance. But without establishing some common ground between Board and community, and in the face of a pattern of disappointing unresponsiveness at that particular forum going back months or even years, it will be difficult if not impossible to restore confidence.

:::(edit conflict) {{ping|Rogol Domedonfors}} I have added my last part to the noticeboard, to acknowledge your comment and perhaps spark a conversation. I agree more engagement is preferable. :) I think developing a Code of Conduct could be feasible on top of interesting, and it could help set expectations of both board and community members. <small>I have to say that it would be very helpful to have global notifications or something along those lines: it is not intuitive having to remember to go to Meta to check the notifications and the noticeboard, which can lead to the perception of unresponsiveness.</small> Kind regards, [[User:Raystorm|Raystorm]] ([[User talk:Raystorm#top|talk]]) 22:34, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
