> 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.
