Hallo zusammen,
untenstehend kommt der Aufruf für Kandidaten für die beiden
Vorstandssitze der Wikimedia Foundation die durch die Wikimedia-Verein
bestimmt werden.
Dh. jeder kann sich nominieren / aufstellen lassen um in den Vorstand
der Wikimedia Foundation gewählt zu werden. "Gewählt" bedeutet hier
allerdings keine Wahl, denn die neuen Vorstandsmitglieder werden in
einem moderierten Prozess von den Vertretern der Wikimedia-Vereine bestimmt.
2010 wurden im selben Verfahren Arne Klempert und Phoebe Ayers gewählt.
Hier steht wie man kandidieren kann und welche Voraussetzungen
(Fähigkeiten / Erfahrungen) man mitbringen sollte:

Der Vorstand von Wikimedia Österreich hat in der Sitzung am 24. Jänner
beschlossen keinen Vorschlag zu machen. Aus unserer Sicht würde sich das
nur lohnen, wenn wir einen besonders ausichtsreichen Kandidaten im Blick
hätten. Durch den moderierten Prozess des Auswählens und der grossen
Zahl an Wikimedia-Vereinen (38+) wird das Auswahlverfahren mit mehr
Kandidaten nur schwieriger.
Der Auswahlprozess soll der selbe sein wie 2010, muss aber noch vom
Wikimedia-Vorstand genehmigt werden. Hier der genehmigte Prozess von 2010:

The Wikimedia chapters are seeking to appoint two candidates to sit on
the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees for two years, starting 1
July 2012. The two new members of the board will help to decide the
future direction of the worlds leading non-profit website. Wikimedia
project are constructed by hundreds of thousands of volunteers
worldwide, supported by a growing number of staff and an international
network of chapters. Board membership is unpaid.
The chapters wish to appoint two excellent board members and believe
this can best be achieved by selecting from a large number of varied and
skilled candidates. Therefore, the chapters call for nominations by
everyone who believes they or someone they know would be suitable. The
chapters ask that this call for candidates be distributed as widely as
possible through such forums as mailing lists, village pumps, and blogs.
The successful candidates will be committed to the Wikimedia mission and
willing and able to engage constructively with the stakeholders of the
movement, including the volunteers and the chapters that provide it with
essential support. The successful candidates will have:
* The ability to provide expertise to the board in its goal of
implementing a coherent vision on how the projects communities, the
foundation, the chapters, and other affiliated groups work together;
* Sensitivity to complex issues surrounding the multiplicity of
languages, cultures, and jurisdictions served by the foundations
projects;
* Knowledge and understanding of the governance of international
non-profit organizations, balancing autonomy and subsidiarity;
* The ability to think strategically and to work both as part of a
team and independently;
* A good standard of written and oral English (fluency in additional
language would be well regarded);
* Sufficient time to devote to the role of board member, and the
ability and willingness to travel.
Increasing the geographical diversity of current board membership would
be an advantage.
The selection process is set out
here:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/>Nominations must
be sent to the moderator Béria Lima (Wikimedia Portugal) and deputy

steward from Iran) by 23:59 UTC, 29 February. If you would like to
