Hi,
I noticed that the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group is electing its steering committee. Nominations opened on May 5 and will close on May 25 (this Sunday). https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group/Steering_...
Recently, the user group organized the Wikimedia + Libraries International Convention 2025 with Wikimedia Mexico and COLMEX. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%2BLibraries_International_Conventi...
Please consider nominating yourself, or encouraging others to consider this important role.
Best wishes, Fiona

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
