No, they replace Jan Bart and Stu, whose term ended as scheduled. Apologies for not making it clear.

Dariusz,
Are either of these trustees occupying the seat formerly occupied by James Heilman? On Jan 5, 2016 6:01 PM, "Dariusz Jemielniak" darekj@alk.edu.pl wrote:
Dear all,
As Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board Governance Committee, I am happy to introduce the two newest members of our Board of Trustees: Kelly Battles and Arnnon Geshuri.
Kelly and Arnnon bring deep expertise in strategy and financial oversight, and diversity and organizational development, and a passionate commitment to advancing Wikimedia’s vision for the world. You can learn more about them in the blog post here: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/01/05/new-wikimedia-foundation-trustees/, and their biographies have been added to the Board of Trustees page, here https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees.
Over the past several weeks, the Board considered many qualified candidates from around the globe. We were looking for people with experience in strategic and organizational development to help guide the Wikimedia Foundation’s future. We were also looking for people with a sense of empathy and cultural awareness, who would value and strengthen the unique culture of our diverse, global movement.
We are excited to announce that with Kelly and Arnnon, we have found exceptional new Trustees who have these qualities, as well as many more. They were approved unanimously by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Both terms are effective Jan 1, 2016 and will last for two years. We look forward to working with them on the Board and toward our mission.
Please join me in welcoming them.
