Hi Alex,

Has the Board resolution been published? The Chapters Wiki also needs to be updated to indicate the Kenyan vote.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback (online and offline) in assisting us to settle on the two candidates to support for board positions on WMF's Board. As mentioned off-list, a board (wmke) resolution on the same has been made and we'll give an official position of wmke's decision on the chapters internal mailing list and wiki.

cheers,
Alex
