I wanted to share this with Chicago/Illinois Wikimedians, you can see full
details in the thread below.
This is the main page on the process:

And here is the next WALRUS meeting on the evening of May 30, where will
discuss this issue, as well as how to apply for Wikimania local grants for
August:

Thanks for providing that link Pharos: this is for seating someone to
an analysis
committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia…>
to help rate candidates in discussion with 8 other regional or thematic
representatives.
The ratings will be for informational purposes. The original timeline hoped
to have this decided by the 15th. It was later extended until the 20th. I
am hoping North American affiliates can finalize this within the next few
business days. There are currently four nominees
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affilia…>
for this committee seat.
As you mentioned, each affiliate is also asked to select one representative
to participate in the affiliate question period and cast a vote on behalf
of the affiliate organization during the affiliate voting period:

I am pleased to present the thirteen trustee candidates:
