I would prefer to have a collaborative process in the future, but since we
only have a few days at this point, I think we're going to have to just do
a quick vote. (Or else have a dictator choose someone. :-))
Therefore, I'd like to set a deadline for nominations of *11:59 PM on
Wednesday*. Then we can have voting and discussion until *6 PM on Saturday*,
which will give our selected delegate 24 hours to submit the application to
the conference organizers.
So for anyone who hasn't emailed me or the list, now's your (brief)
chance! And for those who have, you should write up a short statement to
introduce yourself to people on the list who don't already know you.

Dear Ben,
Thanks so much for keeping on top of this. As Ben mentioned, it's a good
opportunity to meet with others from global Wikimedia affiliates; the focus
of the meeting is likely to be on movement strategy (see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20 for
the current strategic process) as well as techniques for building
affiliates. It would be great if the person going was also able to work on
some Wikimedia New England organizing this year.
Thanks Laura for volunteering! I haven't been the last few years (never
for New England, actually) and am also free / interested in going next
year. But I want to make sure it's open to all.
Every year it seems we talk about having a slightly more robust process
for choosing a delegate, but we haven't developed this to date. Do you have
ideas Ben? (or anyone?) Discussion is open to all who considers themselves
part of Wikimedia New England (a loose affiliation!)
Thanks again Ben.
best,
Phoebe

Hi all,
I’m interested, though would happily defer to others.
Please let me know the best way for next steps.

*Subject: *[Wikimedia-boston] Delegate for Wikimedia Summit 2020 (it
could be you!)
Just a reminder that applications for Wikimedia Summit 2020 are due on
December 16: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Summit_2020/Registration_Informat…
This is the annual meeting in Germany in April for all of the Wikimedia
affiliates from around the world to collaborate on movement strategy. As a
user group, we are eligible to send one delegate. The summit organizers
cover participants' travel costs.
We don't have much time for deliberation; perhaps those who are
interested should say so here, or email me, and then we can quickly select
someone?
We can also talk about this on Slack, but I know not everybody has
joined, so I don't want anybody to be left out.
Benjamin
