Hello,
Coming from South Asia and looking at ESEAP, I am not at all excited
considering the geographical representation of the committee as per
Wikimedia regions[1], excluding WMF appointed candidates who will represent
WMF instead of the regions itself, we have
- United States and Canada - 2 members
- Western & Northern Europe - 3 members
- Central and Eastern Europe & Central Asia - 1 member
- Sub-Saharan Africa - 1 member
- Middle East and North Africa - 2 members
- East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific - 1 member
- South Asia - 1 member
- Latin America & Caribbean - 2 members
I am so surprised to see only 1 representation from ESEAP which has such a
thriving group of affiliates and which had talked about and tried to
materialise to build a hub in the region so passionately. If movement
strategy wants Wikimedia to reach the next billion users in future, they
are in South Asia and ESEAP and without hearing the voices from those
regions, that target will be very hard to achieve.
Anyway, good luck and best wishes for the drafting process. Hope it will
echo our voices.

We are also in the process of creating the meta pages with more details
regarding the election and selection processes. I will follow-up in this
thread when they are available.
