Yeah. I don't remember exactly what Ting said, and even if I did, I wouldn't comment on it.  But FWIW to your point, Ting's not in a chapters-selected seat; Ting was elected by the Wikimedia community.

In saying that, I don't mean to diminish the importance of that question -- I realize that many people are angry about what's happened over the past week, and it will take time for them to be less angry.

Ting's statements on the role of the Board (that it should regulate
project content) will also take some digesting. I doubt chapters
outside the US put people forward for the Board thinking this would
mean the Board supporting content removal to appease Fox News.
