Hi Deryck, <br><br>I don&#39;t expect the candidates put Asian communities as their main agenda. <span dir="ltr" id=":xm">Candidates should be fair and representing all (or most) chapters if they get elected. Referring to <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_board_manual#Fiduciary_duties">this page,</a> the Selected Board will have fiduciary duty. <br>
<br></span><span dir="ltr" id=":xm"></span><blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">Under the Board selection procedures, trustees are elected or appointed by different communities or appointed by the Board directly. Nevertheless, a trustee&#39;s fiduciary duties are owed to all of the Foundation, <b>not to the specific group that elected or appointed the trustee.<br>
</b></blockquote><br>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<br><br>Regards, <br><br>Kartika<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p>The main difference between us and Iberocoop is that culturally we&#39;re a much more diverse bunch then them, therefore within the Wikimedia sphere our interests are less aligned with each other than they.</p>
<p>With neither Craig nor Theo putting representing and developing Asian Wikimedian communities as their main agendum (correct me if I&#39;m wrong), coordinated voting between Asian chapters is probably not in the best interests of individual chapters among us.</p>

<p>To add, I believe there are people from Indian chapter and Bangladesh in this list? How do you guys feel?</p>
<p>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&#39;m cool with it. </p>
