Dear all,
It is back again the time to select representants for our Wikimedia
Foundation Board of Trustees.
This year, the process is different from previous year. If you want to
go look in details, I invite you to read ALL the details on :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022
However, if you want to get the essence of it... here is what you should
know...
1) Two people will be selected to join the board, following a two
step-process
Step 1: From 1 to 15th of July, all affiliates will vote on the initial
list of candidates. Only one (1) vote per affiliate. From all votes
pooled together, a short list of 6 candidates will be sorted
Step 2 : From 15-29th of August, the community will vote on that short
list.
In between the two... the community can ask questions to the candidates
2) Currently, 13 people are candidates. You may find details here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candida…
They have provided initial statements.
3) Our affiliate will vote beginning of July. Sam and I will prepare a
process so that you may cast your votes. From your propositions, we will
sort ONE name.
4) I will invite all current candidates to promote themselves, should
they be interested to, on this mailing list
Cheers
Florence
