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:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats
Nominations must be sent to the moderator Béria Lima (Wikimedia Portugal) and deputy moderators Milos Rancic (Wikimedia Serbia) and Mardetanha (Wikimedia steward from Iran) by 23:59 UTC, 29 February. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please see the instructions here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Nominate

Então Ju,
Isso é uma chamada por candidatos. Não precisas ter afiliação a um chapter para te candidatar (apesar que ter um chapter que te suporte seria um "plus" - como eles dizem).
O posto é de Board da WMF, não de um chapter, então o facto de não haver chapter no Brasil não muda nada nesse caso.
O que muda pelo Brasil não ter chapter é que por isso ele não participa do processo de seleção dessas pessoas. Somente os chapters podem votar nos candidatos. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484
