  • 100 (blank) for the rest for holding deal breaker positions. Eventho Kurt M. Weber and Gregory Kohs received by far the worst subject scores according to my personal voting criteria (a 98 and 85, a 80 and 99), the others crossed lines that made me incapable of voting for them in good conscience.

Winner: Ting Chen (Wing).

How will you vote or [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2009-December/056411.html propose changes] on the board about the foundation reducing its greenhouse gas emissions from flights (meetings, chapter traveling grants, and Wikimania) and hardware, and [http://tstarling.com/blog/2009/12/should-wikimedia-buy-recs/ using] renewable energy (directly or via [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_Energy_Certificates certificates])? ~~~

==Money.==
How will you vote or propose changes on the board about paid ads on Wikimedia sites? Will you keep the foundation's 2009 fundraiser promise of staying "Ad-free forever"?

How will you vote or propose changes on the board about creating a [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/wiki/IRC_office_hours/Office_hours_2011-05-26 "bad boy" donor policy]: rejecting any money from:
*airline,
*banking,
*factory farming,
*generally psychotic (AngloGold Ashanti, Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical, Ford, Glaxo Smithkline, Halliburton, KBR, McDonalds, Microsoft, Monsanto, Nestle, Altria/Philip Morris, Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, Suez-Lyonnaise Des Eaux, Unilever, Wal-Mart),

How will you vote or propose changes on the board about banners as huge as those of the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 fundraisers?

How will you vote or propose changes on the board about things like hiring a PR company? If you do support hiring a PR company, what do you think of paying them a quarter of a million US$ [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-11-16/Fundraiser] [http://www.fenton.com/news/wikimedia-selects-fenton-for-two-pronged-marketing-task/]?

Should the foundation expand its employees to hundreds, and have a continuously larger budget? ~~~
