Hi Alice and Adamw,
Thanks for this question. This has been a question those of us on the team
supporting the election asked ourselves: do we publish the participants
publicly, or no?
Movement Strategy and Governance is made up of facilitators from around the
world. We all have a broad experience with cultures and community
experiences. Several facilitators said some affiliates from their regions
decided not to participate to avoid the risk of being labeled and accused
of engaging with a foreign organization. The aim is to protect those
organizations and individuals who did participate from extra attention that
might have real and lasting effects for them.
For the reason above, making the list of participants more obvious is not
something that we wish to do so we can protect the people in our
communities who are vulnerable to just how political participating in free
knowledge still is in much of the world.
If any organization needs to have documentation of their participation, we
can gladly supply that on an individual basis.
Best,
Jackie

+1 to this question, and whether we can make the list
of voting affiliates
public in the same way that we publicize the voting rolls for individuals
participating in Community [S]elections. The results page [1] shows that
112 affiliate organizations each cast one vote.

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for sharing the result. Where can we find information about how
many chapters/thematic organizations and usergroups have casted their votes?
Alice.

Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and
Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to
grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. These hours of
volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you
for your participation.
Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as
candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of
Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have
shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement.
Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount
of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please
continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.
Thank you to those who followed the Affiliate process for this Board
election. You may review the results of the Affiliate selection process.
The next part of the Board election process is the community voting
period. You may view the Board election timeline here

community members can engage with in the following ways:

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidates>
and
read the candidates’ answers to the questions posed by the Affiliate
Representatives.
- Propose and select the 6 questions for candidates to answer during
their video Q&A
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Questions_for_Candidates>
.
- See the Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each
candidate’s statement

Best,
