Dear NC Wiki friends,

First, this is your reminder that we'll meet this Thursday at 7pm at this Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/91409562683

Before then, in the next few days, I'm supposed to cast a vote on behalf of our user group for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, which is bringing on two new members.

You can read about the 2022 Board of Trustees candidates here. The candidates have also responded to a set of questions here.

Please send me any input, endorsements, or concerns about any of the candidates by Wednesday (6/14) at 7pm. (On- or off-list, whichever your preference) My deadline for casting a vote is Thursday, 6/15, at 8pm. (So I will be voting before our Thursday meeting.) The election uses a ranked-choice system called single transferable vote.

Affiliate representatives (that's me, voting on behalf of our user group) will vote to select 6 of the 12 candidates to continue on to the Board of Trustees Community Voting period, during which we'll each have an opportunity to vote as individuals. The community voting period will take place from Aug. 15 to 19.

For more information, please visit the 2022 Board of Trustees page on Meta-wiki .

Thanks,

Emily
