Dear Indic Wikimedians,

As mentioned in my previous email on 23 January, the call for feedback regarding changes to WMF Board’s governance structure and processes, is going to start on 1 February and will run until March 14. Information about the same will soon be available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats[1].

All through the call for feedback, there will be three rounds of office hours. The first round will be on 2 February (Tuesday). While there will be three sessions with the same content (to be inclusive of various time zones), the most feasible one for India would be from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm (IST). I will follow-up with actual joining instructions soon. During the session, we will introduce this call for feedback and will be available for any questions and comments.

A Telegram chat group[2] to discuss and a channel[3] to receive updates regarding this have been created. You are welcome to join them.

We are welcoming the organization of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me.

Regards,

Krishna Chaitanya
