Hello dear community,
I am glad to announce this year's election committee:
Ferdinando Scala is an experienced Italien wikipedian who candidated for the board in 2011 Jon Harald Søby is a wikipedian from Sweden and served as an election committee member on 2011 and 2009 Katie Chan is an long year wikipedian who lives in the United Kingdom and was on the election committee of 2008 Ralf Roletschek is a very respected community member on the German wikipedia and on Commons Risker is a long year wikipedian on the English Wikipedia
The following two staff members will provide support for the committee: Philippe Beaudette is a long year wikipedian on English wikipedia and served on the election committee for the past years. He is currently an employee of the Foundation and I asked him to support the committee Geoff Brigham is Foundation's currenty general council and will give you support on legal issues.
As in this year at the same time the FDC will also be elected for the first time, the election committee will also handle this election.
I would like to thank the volunteers for their dedication of time and work.
Greetings Ting
