You can sign up here if you are thinking about running, and would like a mentorship session with someone who has already served on the board:

There is still room for more candidates from Asia, I believe there is only one so far, [[User:Md. Abdul Ahad Khan]] from Bangladesh.

Thanks,

The idea is especially to encourage those from underrepresented regions and communities to participate, who might have questions they'd like answered personally and peer support, before they might consider joining the election officially .
