That's reasonable enough, but, as I said in my earlier email, this committee would need to consist only of current board members, which rather limits our ability to do anything creative.
Cheers, Kirill

I recommend delegating the work to a committee which will report its selection to the wider board for us to vote.
Who will be on this committee? Certainly not I.

Who from WikiDC will be participating in the selection process? Thanks, -- Bob Platt
Hello everyone,
As explained in the announcement forwarded to this list earlier today (thanks Sarah!), Wikimedia chapters around the world are beginning the biennial process of selecting two members of the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees. As an official Wikimedia chapter, Wikimedia DC will have the opportunity to participate in this selection process.
Unfortunately, the indications we are receiving from the process moderators is that public discussion of the candidates will be severely curtailed
by
the confidentiality rules currently in place; we will not, for example,
be
able to distribute the list of candidates, or to provide direct question-and-answer sessions between the candidates and our members.
Nevertheless, we intend to do everything in our power to ensure that the opinions and concerns of our membership -- that is, you -- are taken
into
account during the selection. In support of that goal, we would like to ask that you send us any input you might have regarding the process and its desired result. In particular, we are looking for questions that we should ask of the candidates, as well as criteria that we can use to evaluate a candidate's suitability for the Board of Trustees.
Please get us any input by March 1, so that we have it available when
the
candidate question-and-answer period begins. Suggestions may be posted
to
this list; alternatively, if you would prefer provide them privately,
you
may send them to secretary@wikidc.org.
Thanks, Kirill
