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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliat...

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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliat...

Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

Thanks for providing that link Pharos: this is for seating someone to an analysis committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliate_Organization_Participation/Analysis_Committee 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/Affiliates_regional_distribution_for_the_Analysis_Committee/North_America#Users_willing_to_be_an_Analysis_Committee_member 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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliat...

See the full timeline: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022#Timeline https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2022_Board_of_Trustees_Election_time...

I am pleased to present the thirteen trustee candidates: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidat...

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi fellow Wiki-Americans,

Every US usergroup is being invited to pick an "affiliate representative" to help participate in the process for the WMF board election, that will narrow the 13 candidates to 6 that will appear on the ballot:

The deadline is in 10 days!
