Wikimedia Summit in September - Wikimedia-US-NC

6 Apr 2022

Hello again, NC Wikipedian colleagues!

In case folks didn't see the message Gaurav forwarded earlier this week, the
annual Wikimedia Summit
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EEZWPMNU5X3SUSMOBD5AV7Q2ETYDCUT5/>
is returning as an in-person event this September, in Berlin. As an
affiliate, we are able to send one representative to the Summit. Our
standard rubric for choosing a representative is to nominate and select the
member who has done the most to advance the work and interests of our user
group in the previous year leading up to the summit. Because the summit has
been on a pandemic hold, I suggest that we consider the period leading up
to this year's summit (the period of consideration for our representative)
to be the past two+ years -- essentially the whole period of time since the
last summit was held.

Given that set of criteria, I nominate Danielle as our representative.
Danielle kept this group on track for a long period of time with her
dedicated leadership, including throughout the early, stressful, uncertain
stretch of the pandemic. If anyone has additional nominations, or would
like to discuss the nomination criteria, please respond to this message *by
midnight this Friday, April 8*. If there are additional nominations or
folks would like to discuss, we can schedule a brief meeting to discuss in
the next few days. The deadline for our representative to complete the
application is April 17, and we'll need to have our rep selected in enough
time to submit the paperwork. I would like to have this settled by early
next week.

Cheers,
Emily
