Hello,
I would like to remind everyone that we are accepting nominations for the affiliate-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees through 31 March. To submit a nomination, please follow the instructions here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2014/Nominations.
For more information, see the call for candidates: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2014/Call_for_candidates.
For the Election Facilitators, James Hare
There are 36 hours remaining for nominations for the affiliate-selected seats. Self-nominations are allowed.
The two existing chapter appointed board members, Patricio Lorente and Alice Wiegand, are currently the only candidates, which will save a lot of volunteer time in the selection process. ;-)

However more candidates would be good, as the original call for candidates put it:
"The chapters and thematic organizations wish to appoint two excellent board members and believe this can best be achieved by selecting from a large number of varied and skilled candidates.
Therefore, the chapters and thematic organizations call for nominations by everyone who believes they or someone they know would be suitable.
This call for candidates should be distributed as widely as possible through such forums as mailing lists, village pumps, and blogs."
