Dear Wikimedians of Sri Lanka,
As a result of the first three weeks of the call for feedback on WMF
Community Board seats, three topics turned out to be the focus of the
discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community
member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus
topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and
collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the
next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering
many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the
Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic
discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the
further development of the panel's topics.
Topics and Panels time are:
- Skills for Board work
