Hi all,
Wikimedia Norge held its general assembly on Saturday, March 14th, for the first time as a video conference due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The results of the board election were: * Sigrun Espe (User:Sigrunespe) elected as board chair for the 2020–2022 term * Tore Sætre (User:Toresetre) elected for the 2020–2021 term * Trond Trosterud (User:Trondtr) elected for the 2020–2021 term * Hilde Blix (User:Hildeblix) elected for the 2020–2022 term * Hogne Neteland (User:Hogne) elected as deputy board member for the 2020–2021 term
In addition, there is Andrea Hegdahl Tiltnes (User:AndreaHT) who is the vice chair, who was not up for election this year. Wikimedia Norge has staggered board elections to ensure board continuity, where half of the members are up for election every second year. Because there was an imbalance in who was up for election when (only one board member, the vice chair, was not up for election this year), two of the board members (Tore Sætre and Trond Trosterud) agreed to stand for 1-year terms instead of the normal 2-year terms, in order to restore the balance.
Thank you very much to all the volunteer board members, and a special thanks to Hogne Neteland, who has now stepped down as board chair, a position he served in since 2015!
The minutes from the general assembly can be read here https://no.wikimedia.org/wiki/%C3%85rsm%C3%B8te_2020/Protokoll (in Norwegian).
Namaskara, Thanks for the notification. Good wishes to the (new) board members, and all the members of Wikimedia Norge for the upcoming year. Thanks Tito Dutta

Dear Jon,
Thank you for these news and congratulations to the new Wikimedia Norge board!
Would it be possible to share some technical background information and lessons learned from the virtual meeting? A lot of affiliates including Wikimedia Deutschland are currently facing this challenge as well. Kind regards,

Hi Lukas! Sorry, I just noticed your email from before Easter – sorry about missing it. In the meantime I got the same question from Gesine who you probably know, so I'm just forwarding my answer to her below. :-)
---------- Forwarded message --------- Fra: Jon Harald Søby jhsoby@wikimedia.no Date: tir. 14. apr. 2020 kl. 12:04 Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] New board of Wikimedia Norge To: Gesine Marks gesine.marks@wikimedia.de Cc: Moritz Rahm moritz.rahm@wikimedia.de
Hi Gesine & Moritz!
I think our scales are very different, so I'm not sure how applicable our experience will be for WMDE. If I remember correctly, you regularly have up to 200–300 participants at the general assemblies, but we have much less – for the last ~5 years we have had between 15 and 30 participants. For this online GA, only 13 people showed up, and we didn't really expect more than around ~20 people max, so the scale was easy to manage for us.
If you aren't already a member of it, I think you should ask about this in the Telegram group "CROW – Conference Remote Options for Wikimedians" at https://t.me/joinchat/FE0P5FlfxzREOMlLljnNcA – it also has a coordinating page on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_remote_event_participation with some collected information about various options.

Dear Jon,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop! We are in the midst of dicussing options re our assembly. We may go for the digital version as well. Could you help us with your experience as we are not so sure about the best software and tools yet. We are currently looking into zoom & co, but feel not very comfortable about data privacy and security.
Would you mind sharing your insights with us, either by call or in written? That would be highly appreciated.
Thaks so much in advance! Looking forward to hearing from you I remain
With best regards
Gesine
