Hello, comproj folks,
I'd ask you for help to publicize the coming endorsement acceptance (of Board Election, of course). This message, taken from [[m:Communication Projects Group/Board Election/Call for translators]], was posted already to the project following: - zhwiki - svwiki - Commons
I expect top 13 Wikipedias and all English projects are already informed about Election in a way. On the other hand, I am not sure all of them are aware of the forthcoming endorsement phase. At any rate, even if all of them know about it, as you may know, they are only a top of an iceberg among over 600 Wikimedia project (about 87% registered accounts of all Wikipedias are found on those top 13 - and the left 13% is roughly estimated as one million). Therefore your help for distributing the news will be very appreciated.
As noted, please leave a note on meta, to reduce duplication of works. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Translations/en Thanks for your consideration, Cheers,
Aphaia / Kizu Naoko

Hi Wikimedians,
As you may know, we are currently holding the [[wikimedia:Board of Trustees|Board of Trustees]] elections. We are very grateful to your collaborations for sharing the info, through translations, forwarding and other several ways.
Next Sunday, June 17, the Board Election will enter its second phase: call for endorsements from the community to the candidates. Only candidates who get 12 or more endorsements in the following week will be able to run in the election.
For further information, please see [[m:Board elections/2007/Endorsements]].
Also we would like you to aware we are planning to use [[Wikimedia:Sitenotice]] to inform you that call for endorsement while it is open. Please modify the message in an appropriate way to your community. The notice will be placed at most in seven days.
We would appreciate your translation of this message as well as other Election related information. If you'd like to offer further help, just contact your [[Board_elections/2007/Translations#Coordinators_by_languages|language coordinator]] and regularly check [[m:Board elections/2007/Candidates|the list of candidate statements]].
If there's no coordinator for your language, please consider joining our translations team. Please contact [[m:User:Schiste|User:Schiste]] or [[m:User:Aphaia|User:Aphaia]] on meta if you have any question.
Cheers, Wikimedia Election Steering Committee <!--- text ends -->
