The board has increased their allowed number of 3-year terms from 2 to 3, for a total of 9 years. In addition, Jimbo has to be appointed and re-appointed by the board. If he is not appointed then his position remains vacant:

Also, the board has at least considered relocating the headquarters:

The Foundation Wiki is the best wiki for wiki-watching, imo. :]

Like everything else they do, the "reappointment" process smacks of amateur hour bullshit.

There'll be some dusty parchment somewhere that nullifies any board resolution that even comes close to suggesting Jimmy doesn't have full and total control over when he severs all ties. He isn't a fan of The Lords for no reason.

Everything they do still reeks of amateur-hour. I wonder if this is the beginning of the Final Purge of The Great Leader.

I have read the future of the board. A lot of questions, even good questions, but......
"Wikiquote (Wikipedia) is één groot zwart gat, waar je een oneindige hoop energie in kunt stoppen, maar wat nooit echt wat wordt. Tot dit inzicht kom ik meer en meer. Het is namelijk of je een huis in de verkeerde volgorde bouwt, eerst het dak, dan de verdiepingen, dan de begane grond, het fundament, en o ja, nu de heipalen nog!"

Wikipedia is one big black hole. They first fixed the roof, after that the building, and now they are looking for people who can fix the fundament.
Till now there was not any strategy ever except Maher here fucktcheckers and and activistic Pirate Party gender approch with multi talents as Dimi, Gerlach, Romaine=>wikimedia, and last but absolute not least Mdd how made his life to a piece of art. Supported warm bij trusty Doc James and Jimmy.

Well, we are close to 2020 and in 2030 everything has to be fixed, so we are looking for an wonderteam. And I have a great suggestion for new trusty's.
Crow, Dys and Drmies. Because they are the only ones on this earth who maybe can safe the wiki-Titanic, but I am not sure. And my strong advice to them is to let this chalice pass, and let the wiki-Titanic just sink.Let it die, HTD.
