Hello everyone,
As you may have heard, I joined the Wikimedia Foundation last Monday as the VP of Human Resources. I am so excited to be here and help to the best of my abilities.
One of the projects that I am currently focusing on is adding two members to our board of trustees. I wanted to reach out to you and ask you to nominate candidates that you think should be considered.
I am attaching a role description that will provide more insight into what the ideal candidates for these two board slots would be. If someone you know comes to mind, please send the name of the candidate including some information regarding why you think they would be great. Also let me know if you know that person is interested in the position and can afford the time commitment the role will require or if it’s someone you think may be great but are unsure if they are interested or would have time to commit.
Please email nominations to board-nominations@lists.wikimedia.org by next Wednesday, Sept 30th. I understand that this is a short notice and not much time to nominate, but we need to find someone that can start in Nov and we need to contact, screen, interview, etc before then.
Thank you in advance for your nominations and have a wonderful weekend!
Warmest regards, Boryana
Welcome Boryana. (:
Will you be able to come to WikiConference USA in DC to mix with some of the community? This might net you some contacts that would be good for board candidates, employees, etc. moving forward. (From my perspective, we are sorely missing having the C-level engineering and technology roles filled.)
I believe that attachments get screened out of the public mailing lists. Can you send a link to a JD on the Foundation site or Meta?
My understanding is that the Board itself, with the assistance of consultants, has conducted searches for candidates in the past. You might check to see if there is a stack of CVs somewhere for potential board candidates.
See you around,
Pine

Thanks Pine, I've uploaded the file she was trying to send up on foundationWiki for now at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:RoleDescription-WikimediaFoundatio.... I'll try to convert it into wikitext for Meta over the next couple days as well (though obviously anyone who has some free time should feel free).

Hi Board folks and Boryana,
Separate from the discussions about Doc James, can we get an update on the appointment of new members?

Hi Pine, sure, this is where we are:
We completed the search for two appointed Board members successfully and we plan to fill the two board positions in the first week of January. We are in the process of final on-boarding steps and will be ready to announce on or before January 5th with regards to the holidays.
Alice.

Hi Pine,
I'm on my phone now and can't reply in detail, but it is my pleasure to write that we're in the very final stages of the process and an announcement early in January should be made.
Best,
Dariusz Hi Board folks and Boryana,
Separate from the discussions about Doc James, can we get an update on the appointment of new members?
