Dear all,

Due to Angela Beeslay's resignation from the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, the Board issued a new election to fill at least one position for the following year.

From today, we're accepting candidates to the Board of Trustees. If

you're interested, you must make a candidate statement and list yourself on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Election_candidates_2006/En

We also need the help or translators for the elections, so if you're fluent in any language apart from English, please list yourself here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Election_translations_2006

If you have any questions, please leave them in the FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Election_FAQ_2006

The official announcement is available on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Elections_for_the_Board_of_Trustees_of_the_Wi...

We hope the elections will go underway without any problems and wish any potential candidates the best of luck.

Regards, Datrio, Essjay, & Aphaia Election Officials, Wikimedia Election Committee 2006
