All,
As many of you already know, Denny Vrandečić has announced his resignation
from the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, effective today, April
8th. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Denny for his service to
the movement and to the Wikimedia Foundation. We wish him the best during
his wikibreak, and look forward to seeing him on the projects and around
the movement.
When Denny informed the Board that he was stepping down, we began to
consider how we would move forward. We recognize the importance of filling
the two vacancies on the Board, and would like to proceed in a way that
respects the will of the community and responds to existing Board needs.
The Board will be meeting in Berlin during the Wikimedia Conference on
April 22nd and 23rd - during this time we will discuss how we should fill
the open community-nominated and appointed Trustee seats.
I look forward to sharing more information with you in late April.
Patricio
