Dear all,

Each year, several of the movement’s core governance committees seek new volunteers to support essential and high-impact work across the Wikimedia ecosystem. The current cycle for appointments is open for AffCom, Ombuds Commission, and Case Review Committee.

Read more about the committees on their Meta-wiki pages:

Affiliations Committee (AffCom)
Ombuds Commission (OC)
Case Review Committee (CRC)

Applications for these committees open on 30 October 2025 and close on 11 December 2025. Learn how to apply by visiting the appointment page on Meta-wiki. Post to the talk page or email cst@wikimedia.org with any questions you may have.

There will be two conversation hours to answer any questions that potential applicants may have:

5 November 2025 - 14:00 to 15:00 UTC (other timezones) (add to calendar) (sign up)
26 November 2025 - 03:00 to 04:00 UTC (other timezones) (add to calendar) (sign up)

We warmly invite you to consider this opportunity to bring your skills and leadership to our global governance work.

Thank you for your continued dedication and impact.

Best,

Manav
