Dear NEW,

This year we have 13 candidates standing for election, and a new combined affiliate/community process. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022

1) In early July, affiliates vote to choose a short list of 6 candidates. (1 vote per affiliate)
2) in late August (15-29), the community will vote on that short list.

The candidates have provided initial statements. Phoebe & I will set up a way for you all to cast votes for the shortlist; based on that we will file a single collective vote for NEW.

The candidates will have a chance to say more about themselves on Meta; we will point to that and any other detail when returning to this thread in July.

Warmly, SJ
