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.

To add, I believe there are people from Indian
chapter and Bangladesh in
this list? How do you guys feel?
Kartika prompt to me that Asian chapters combine are as equal as
Iberocoop in terms of quantity; IN, ID, BD, MK, TW, HK, PH : seven. If we
can say Asian chapters decided to vote for X and Y, then it means we can
actually function regionally. Or we can choose to do it individually,
either way i'm cool with it.
