Hallo Wikimedians, It's been a while but I hope we are all well. This serves as a reminder that we are supposed to have board elections so that we can proceed with the registration process of being a fully recognized chapter. Furthermore, I am availing myself to be part of the team of members that will overlook the election process. I'll be in contact with all the acting board members on how we shall see this activity come to pass successfully. Just for the record, on our last meet up we planned to have these elections on the 17th of this month. However, this seems to be to soon if we are to have a well planned and executed election. I would like to suggest that we plan for the 31st of March since Ihub had offered space for WikimediaKE on the last Saturday of every month. Regards,
Thanks, Chris, for taking the initiative on that.
I'm supportive of moving election date to March 31st. That means though, that all candidates should provide a bio by next week. Please!
Also, do we have a time from iHub for our monthly meetings? Morning? Midday? Afternoon? Evening?
Best,
Oliver (aka BT)

Furthermore, I am availing myself to be part of the team of members that will overlook the election process.</snip>Hi Chris! Thanks for following this up -- I had totally forgotten about this: my apologies. Anyway, Branton and Cliff had already volunteered to be moderators, but you're more than welcome to join them nonetheless. <snip> I'll be in contact with all the acting board members on how we shall see this activity come to pass successfully. Just for the record, on our last meet up we planned to have these elections on the 17th of this month. However, this seems to be to soon if we are to have a well planned and executed election.</snip>Precisely. Some of the moderator tasks that I surmise include (but are not limited to) finalizing the Board Elections process: http://wikimedia.or.ke/Board_Elections; brainstorming the voting criteria; creating a nominations page; announcing the call for nominees and making any other necessary announcements; creating a timeline and of course overseeing the actual elections. <snip> I would like to suggest that we plan for the 31st of March since Ihub had offered space for WikimediaKE on the last Saturday of every month. </snip>+1. <snip> Also, do we have a time from iHub for our monthly meetings? Morning? Midday? Afternoon? Evening?</snip>Still unconfirmed. Let me liaise with iHub and get back to you. Sincerely,Abbas.
Thanks Chris for Volunteering for this and bringing to the attention. It seems we have been avoiding this issue for quite sometime and the earlier we settle the elections, the better.
For Starter, let us have guys interested in the Board respond to this thread ...we may just be preparing for an election that we may not need in the first place :-)
So we have 5 seats on the board...
Consider this My Nomination....
What are the seats? We need to know who is contesting for what seat.

Hi guys,
We are working on having the elections on 31st ,now that we have a guaranteed venue. Voting shall be in the way of secret ballot ,5 aspirants who will get the highest votes shall make up the board , that's according to our chapter election procedures , i stand corrected ! I shall liaise with my fellow electoral team members Chris & Cliff on Monday evening ,whether by way of physical meeting up ,Skype or otherwise see how we can handle the Q & A session & Logisics /ballot papers blah blah,Thereafter by Wednesday we expect to have set up an election page where aspiring board members will post their respective bios, For now i want to urge our members to spare some time for this historical event so that we have better turn out ,cz the future of WMKE chapter is at stake, On behalf of the team i want to say that we shall be keen to follow the procedures as outlined because we want to set the right precedence for future elections.
