Friends, Here is a message from the Elections Committee:
Voting for the 2021 Board of Trustees election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Voting>
is
now open. Candidates from the community were asked to submit their
candidacy. After a three week long Call for Candidates, there are 19
candidates for the 2021 election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Candidate_Table>
.
The Wikimedia movement has the opportunity to vote for the selection of
community-and-affiliate trustees. By voting, you will help to identify
those people who have the qualities to best serve the needs of the movement
for the next several years. The Board is expected to select the four most
voted candidates to serve as trustees. Voting closes 31 August 2021.
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees>
oversees
the Wikimedia Foundation's operations. The Board wants to improve their
competences and diversity as a team. They have shared the areas of expertise
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Skills>
that
they are currently missing and hope to cover with new trustees.
