Thank you Quim.
Hi Everyone,
In light of this development, ESEAP (East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific)
will hold a special meeting on August 8, Sunday at 02:00 UTC (Saturday
evening in the Americas).

Election candidates are free to join in this event and we will simply do a
typical town hall where our regional community members ask question to the
candidates.
Kind regards,
Butch Bustria

Hello, all.
(You can read this announcement in other languages on

We are reaching out to you today regarding the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021>.
This election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues
with SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we
plan to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after
Wikimania concludes.
For information on the technical issues, you can see the Phabricator
ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287859>.
We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on
schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and
the candidates to coordinate next steps. We will update the Board
election Talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021>
and Telegram channel <https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat> as we know
more. We are translating this announcement on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/2021-08-02/Delay_of_the_2021_Board_of_Trustees_election>
and we are starting the mass distribution of the news as we speak.
