Dear all,
The deadline for nominations in the Affiliate Selected Board Seats process passed on Tuesday, and 10 candidates have been nominated:

This is more candidates than any previous affiliate/chapter-selected process, and I am pleased to note that 4 of the candidates are women and 5 are from countries not in North American or Western Europe. All candidates who have received one or more endorsements from voting organisations by 23 March will be added to the ballot for the election.
While only Chapters and the single Thematic Organization have a vote in this election, all community members are invited to participate by asking questions to the candidates, here:

Help translating candidate statements into other languages is also much appreciated.
(For more details about this process, please see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2016 )
Many thanks,
Chris Keating (one of the election facilitators)
