Hi guys,
As you may be aware, there is an upcoming Chapter's Meeting in March 25-27
2011 in Berlin. We are supposed to select two representatives to attend the Chapters Meeting. Since there are more than 2 people who want to go, there will have to be a nominations and voting process.
Candidates who want to represent Wikimedia Kenya, please kindly fill in
the nominations form:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG5qdkt0czVNVUoyblFyUXVqYXR... believe the nominations criteria has already been discussed on the mailing list and the one thing that I would like to reiterate to all of you is your commitment. Please don't nominate yourself if you will have an internship; job; family issues; exams or blah blah blah. We do not want to select a candidate that will let us down at the last minute.
After the nominees have submitted their applications (latest Sunday 30th
January), we will all vote (on Doodle) for two candidates whom we feel will represent us well at the event. I have choseen a short time schedule as we need to send our confirmed representatives by next week.
Since I will be nominating myself as well, I will have to hand over the
voting process so someone else to make it transparent. Any non-nominees who would want to oversee and count the votes are welcomed to contact me.
Thanks, and nominate & vote wisely.
Sincerely Abbas

Guys... Abbas sent this message and to me it appears as though it didnt go to the list... correct me if am wrong:
Alex,
Sam is overseeing the voting process and he'll soon release a read-only nominations doc in which the voters will read what the nominees have written before choosing their best candidates.
And, BTW, I think that another prerequisite that we should consider is the nominee's ability to public-speak. This is b'coz the nominees that will be chosen will make a presentation about what we have done so far in front of other chapter members, the Foundation Staff, the Foundation Board & the Chapters Committee followed by a Q&A. This is just to inform the nominees what's at stake and what'll be expected of them once they go to the Chapter's Meeting.
Regards Abbas.

Sure David, I dint get the email too.
Abbas,I agree that the guys to represent us need not only to be good at public speaking,but should have the correct facts and be versed with the broader Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects.Rememmebre we will be dealing with wiki Gurus and getting the wrong facts and statics would not only be embarrassing but a pointer that we not serious.
On the same note,I would like Sam to send the Nominations to the list ASAP and let the people decide who will represent them.
Guys,consider dedication,hardwork,commitement and Wikipedia and Wikimedia conversancy in placing your vote,not favoritism.And the guys who would represent us should know that they will be Wikimedia Kenya Board members and as such,should be fully into it NOT just for the trip.
Lastly,I request you guys to VOTE for me if you are convinced I got what I have just suggested and meet the (Un)chapter criteria. Thanks guys and all the best,

A meet up would be good but do we have time? We need to submit names this week. Anyway, again, here is my request for a vote.
I will not only represent the team well by presenting what we are about, what we are doing, what we are planning on achieving... but I will also work to make relations that will secure continuity of our projects. I will lobby for support from other chapters, both monetary and moral. I will ensure each connection possible is made.
While on the trip, I will also take advantage and take up an invitation to Nokia in Finland and also present the project for schools. This will be a great chance to get new support from Nokia who are also hard in creating local content.
I hope you give me the chance, I will surely not embarrass you.
David.
