Hi Lucas, Helen and Mirjiam.
WMDE's approach on this appointment of two new members of the board find me extremely happy. Professional skills and diversity are weighty factors in our movement and considering only non-men applications to increase the diversity could be a suggest in all those cases of affiliates where there are no female or non binary figures on the board.
I congratulate you on your choice, and wish you a good job with Helen and Mirjiam to whom I wish a warm welcome in the movement.
Sincerely, Camelia (WikiDonne UG)

Dear fellow Wikimedians, I am happy to share with you that the Wikimedia Deutschland board has appointed Helene Hahn and Mirjam Stegherr as additional members to the board. *Helene *is a free knowledge enthusiast and a co-founder of Coding Da Vinci, the first German open cultural data hackathon(1). For the past five years, she has worked as a project manager for community and technology projects in the fields of open government, data literacy and open culture at the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany. *Mirjam *is a highly experienced expert in media and communications. Having worked as a freelance journalist, consultant, deputy editor-in-chief, press officer, and head of communications for 20 years, she has extensive experience at all levels of strategic communications. Both will be full members of the board until the next board elections at the general assembly in June 2020 and we are very much looking forward to working with Helene and Mirjam. The Wikimedia Deutschland board(2) of consists of up to 9 members. Seven members are elected by the general assembly for a two-year term. After the election, the seven board members can appoint up to two additional members to the board. As the general assembly on 1 December 2018 resulted in the election of six men and one woman, we decided to consider only applications from non-male candidates for the appointed seats. Subsequently, we published a profile with the skills and experiences which we considered to be most important for our board. We are happy that this approach was very successful: We received more than 80 recommendations and 16 applications of highly qualified candidates. Through this process, we have made some valuable experiences and contacts on which we want to build to further increase the diversity of candidates in upcoming board elections. Please join me in welcoming Helene und Mirjam to the Wikiverse!
