Personally, I often find it difficult to criticize the OTW. I think it's because I'm not proud of my own time as an OTW volunteer: I did some good things, but I didn't do as much or as well as I should have, or at least the person holding the position I did should have done more and better. So to criticize other OTW volunteers who also don't do as much or as well as they should in their positions feels somewhat hypocritical.
(I'm slightly more comfortable criticizing the Board, because it's an elected position. I don't want to put too much responsibility on the Board when I know that their influence is limited, but it's still their responsibility to figure out how to effectively function.)

But. Not only have they not made progress regarding the anti-harassment measures they promised, they have 1.5 million dollars as reserves and still no clear plan regarding hiring people. That is not just a slow pace, that is glacial. At some point doing something becomes more important than doing it perfectly, and that point was probably months if not years ago. I'm disappointed.
Most of the discussion seems to be on Twitter and other places that I am not very adept with, but

naye has a good post with links on the topic of the OTW and their insufficient anti-racist actions here.
