Hi Kartika,
I understand that that the chapters-selected board seat has fiduciary
duty,
but from the view of Asian chapters, a person who have a
good understanding
about Asia is needed to cooperate with Asian chapters, and also suit with
the
movement of foundation for the countries like India.
Lodewijk and Alice are from Euro and i doubt how much they know about
Asia.

Hi Deryck,
I don't expect the candidates put Asian communities as their main
agenda. Candidates should be fair and representing all (or most)
chapters if they get elected. Referring to this
page,<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_board_manual#Fiduciary_du…
Selected Board will have fiduciary duty.
Under the Board selection procedures, trustees are elected or appointed
by different communities or appointed by the
Board directly. Nevertheless,
a trustee's fiduciary duties are owed to all of the Foundation, *not
to the specific group that elected or appointed the trustee.

Personally, I am willing to reach consensus regionally. At least, so far
we only turn in 4 names: Lodewijk, Craig, Alice, and Theo (not so much
diverse) :P
Regards,
Kartika

The main difference between us and Iberocoop is
that culturally we're a
much more diverse bunch then them, therefore within the Wikimedia sphere
our interests are less aligned with each other than they.
With neither Craig nor Theo putting representing and developing Asian
Wikimedian communities as their main agendum (correct me if I'm wrong),
coordinated voting between Asian chapters is probably not in the best
interests of individual chapters among us.
