I wanted to share this with Georgia 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 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 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/Affiliate_Organization_Participation


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

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!

Thanks,
