Hi fellow Wikimedians,
Wikimedia NYC is interested in opening up and diversifying the Wikimedia
Foundation board nominations process (beyond the typical
chapter-affiliated
candidates), so interested parties are welcomed
to submit their
self-nominations today on Meta-Wiki, and we will consider all reasonable
applications from around the world, and will endorse those
non-traditional
candidates whose inclusion we would find to
benefit the overall elections
process.
You just have to start the page for your nomination on Meta-Wiki today,
details can be filled in over the coming week.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2016/Nominat…
Nominations must be in by UTC end of day March 8 on Meta-Wiki (which is
the
global deadline), and Wikimedia NYC will formally
make the choice of
candidates to endorse for participation in the elections at its March 16
'WikiWednesday' public meeting, to be determined by an open vote of
attendees at that meeting.
We also commit to having a vote at our public meeting in April or May to
make our chapter's decision for the actual elections.
Feel free to write to us beforehand if you have questions.
Thanks,
Pharos
Wikimedia NYC
