Hello,
The board of trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation has 10 seats. The office holders for 2 of these 10 seats will be selected in the "2016 affiliate-selected board seats" process described at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2016
For a candidate to be considered in this election, they must be nominated by 8 March and endorsed by a voting Wikimedia organizational affiliate by 23 March.
If anyone has any nomination to make, we are now in the last day! Nominations must be made by the end of 8 March! Make a nomination for yourself or another person at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2016/Nominati...
For those making a nomination, please follow up by soliciting for endorsement of the nomination from one voting organization. That endorsement must be posted by 23 March. Candidates in the election must be nominated by the end of March 8 and must have their endorsement by 23 March.
Beyond nomination, please participate in the election by encouraging all organizations which are eligible to vote to cast their vote later during the voting period.
Thanks - and forgive me if I misspoke in any part of this. I am anxious about writing correctly and clearly. The official election documentation is on-wiki.
yours,
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/Nominati...
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
