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(a)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 _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

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 On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 5:04 PM, Boryana Dineva &lt;boryana(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: the what next much we _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Hi Board folks and Boryana, Separate from the discussions about Doc James, can we get an update on the appointment of new members? Thanks, Pine On Sep 25, 2015 5:04 PM, "Boryana Dineva" &lt;boryana(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote: the what next much we _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
