Wikipedia talk:Education Working Group/Proposal/The finer details

In order to minimize the specifics of the proposed organization and how it will operate, the Working Group has created this page for any interested "further reading" about the proposed Thematic Organization.

• Plans to hire an Executive Director (whenever this is possible and necessary): The board will appoint an Executive Director search committee of three board members to initiate a process, which will include advertisements, a "call", and any other appropriate methods for which there is funding. The search committee will review applications and make a recommendation to the board, who must vote to approve the hire.
