Dear Colleagues

There still has been no information forthcoming about the election process and how to participate in the voting. According to meta is 8 June, and voting was supposed to open on 1 June and end 8 June.

Will the date be extended?

More importantly, what is the voting procedure?

Kind regards Ingrid Thomson ________________________________ From: Fiona Romeo fromeo@wikimedia.org Sent: Monday, 02 June 2025 22:01 To: Wikimedia & Libraries libraries@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [libraries] Re: Elections for the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group
