The Wikimedia chapters are seeking to appoint two candidates to sit on the Wikimedia
Foundation's Board of Trustees for two years, starting 1 July 2012. The two new
members of the board will help to decide the future direction of the world’s leading
non-profit website. Wikimedia project are constructed by hundreds of thousands of
volunteers worldwide, supported by a growing number of staff and an international network
of chapters. Board membership is unpaid.
The chapters 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 call for nominations by everyone who believes they or someone they know would be
suitable. The chapters ask that this call for candidates be distributed as widely as
possible through such forums as mailing lists, village pumps, and blogs.
The successful candidates will be committed to the Wikimedia mission and willing and
able to engage constructively with the stakeholders of the movement, including the
volunteers and the chapters that provide it with essential support. The successful
candidates will have:
The ability to provide expertise to the board in its goal of implementing a coherent
vision on how the projects’ communities, the foundation, the chapters, and other
affiliated groups work together;
Sensitivity to complex issues surrounding the multiplicity of languages, cultures, and
jurisdictions served by the foundation’s projects;
Knowledge and understanding of the governance of international non-profit organizations,
balancing autonomy and subsidiarity;
The ability to think strategically and to work both as part of a team and independently;
A good standard of written and oral English (fluency in additional language would be well
regarded);
Sufficient time to devote to the role of board member, and the ability and willingness to
travel.
Increasing the geographical diversity of current board membership would be an advantage.
The selection process is set out here:
