Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMIL general assembly and board elections

Hello, Yesterday Wikimedia Israel held its annual general assembly. After hearing a description of the financial report and the audit report the assembly approved the financial statement of the chapter to be submitted to the public authorities. The General Assembly elected the following members to its board: 1. Itzik Edri (Chairman, Spokesman) (reelected to board, new chairman) 2. Shani Evenstine (reelected) 3. Lior Golgher 4. Yael Meron (Secretary) 5. Yan Nasonov The general assembly also selected two new audit committee members: 1. Oved Cohen (reelected) 2. Ido Ivri *** Yan is an active Wikipedia editor since 2004. He was involve in Wikimania 2011 and WLM-IL (and even developed the voting system who been uses by most of the chapters in less than a week!). He also active in OpenStreetMap project and works as a system administrator & a developer in an internet company. He loves to listen to political interviews in his free time. Lior, Medical Physicist at the Oncology Institute of Rambam Medical Center, editor on Wikipedia since 2006. A 2007 dispute in a Wikipedia talk page eventually turned him into a research assistant on the oral heritage of the Beta Israel community. And a raven once puked on him midflight on the Alps. Yael joined to Wikipedia only two years ago, but since then she is active in many of ours projects –GLAM, tutorials and WLM. She holds a Bachelor's degree in physics from the Israeli Technion and from some reason she really hates cilantro. (I really like to cook with cilantro seeds!) **** In a board meeting held after the general assembly, the board had reelect Sara as treasurer, and select Yael as secretary. The board also approved the hiring of the new Executive Director (after 4 months process and more than 500 applications). A separate announcement will be sent in the coming days, when the process will be formally end. Good luck! Regards, Itzik Edri Chairman Wikimedia Israel _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
