Wikimédia France new Board - Wikimedia-l

19 Nov 2018


      Hi all,
*Bonjour à tous et à toutes,*
Last week, Wikimédia France elected its new board. It is my honor and my
pleasure to communicate members and roles of this board to the movement [1].
All the three outgoing candidates were re-elected. Five people are joining
for the first time the board of WMFr, including a former employee and a
former intern ("service civique").
Three members of the previous Board left us:
Florence Raymond, elected for two years in 2017, resigned in September
2018; and two administrators, whose terms were coming to an end, decided
not to re-apply:
• Samuel Le Goff, who joined the Board in 2014, before assuming Vice
Presidency in 2016, then Presidency from June to September 2017;
• Charlotte Matoussowsky, elected in 2017, who has been our Vice
President.
We thank them for the time they have spent in serving our Chapter and the
whole movement, knowing they keep on serving by other ways, and wishing
them the best for their present and future projets.
During this general meeting, we were also proposing new bylaws. Written
with the help of associations governance experts, their main goal is to
improve democracy and transparency in the association structure.
There was a large consensus in favor of the new bylaws. Unfortunately the
quorum has not been reached (25 % of members must be physically present at
the general meeting to change the bylaws, we were rather around 20 %).
Per our currently still standing bylaws, we will have to organize another
general meeting (without quorum) in 2018 or during the first semester of
2019.
Last but not least, the 21st edition of the general meeting was for the
first time available in French Sign Language.
New board composition:
– Pierre-Yves Beaudouin, *chair*
– Willie Robert, *vice-chair*
– Marin Dubroca-Voisin, *treasurer*
– Nadine Le Lirzin, *secretary*
– Benoît Deshayes
– Julien Gardet
– Roger Gotlib
– Pierre-Selim Huard
– Pierre-Antoine Le Page
– Lucas Lévêque
– Hélène Masson
– Pascal Radigue
A few more details about us on our website [2].
Friendly to all,
Nadine Le Lirzin
*Secrétaire*
