Hi Jeromy-Yu,
Some information is available here: in
commons<https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ACSBS.pdf&…
meta-page<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/20…
we have Craig Franklin and Salmaan Haroon from Asia-Pasific. The other
candidates are Alice Wiegand, Patricio Lorente, Liam Wyatt, Raul Gutierrez,
Phoebe Ayers, Lodewijk Gelauff. The discussion of candidates is running
here:
http://chapters.wikimedia.ch/Appointment_process/2012/Criteria_table#Table.
Yuyu, since you are part of Chapters Committee, I am sure you know almost
all the candidates long before us, can you also give some review from your
own perspective/experience? It should be needed for us to decide :)
Back in Berlin Meeting, I envy the Iberocoop togetherness and starting a
lively discussion like this will help Asian Chapters to grow up. Wikimedia
Indonesia are willing to stand united. Although we proposed Craig and
Salmaan (incidentally they are from Asian Chapters), we open the
possibility of supporting other candidates. Whoever are the best candidates
for Chapter Selected Board Seat (CSBS), those people will get support from
us, but he/she should be able to stand upon Chapters interest and put it in
the first place. I hope Asian Chapters do not vote for a candidate only
considering the regional similarity, like Iberocoop probably do.
Since I only know Craig and Theo, I can only share some overview about
them,
# Craig
He has a financial background and decentralization perspective. He able to
think strategically and investigate the needs of movement in terms of
funding distribution. Since, the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) will
be signed by Board of Trustees, we need someone with accounting ability pro
decentralized which will help chapter being independent.
# Theo
Supporting chapters to be independent. And with his personality, he can
rock the boat of abstainer and difficult to silent.
I'm looking to hear other opinions about those candidates in this thread! :)
Regards,

Hi all
As I am not on any chapter board,
so I may seems stupid to ask this (but actually I dun really had that info)
as I didn't see any candidate from Asia this time (again)
so wondering any Asian Chapter made up their mind to support any candidate
yet?
(or should not express anything here actually?)
