Hi all,
For those that don't know already: the Wikimedia chapters are currently in the process of nominating two people for the chapter-selected WMF board seats. The background and timeline for this is at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats
The list of candidates is public on meta, and there's the opportunity to ask the candidates questions there: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/Candidates http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Candidates/...
I would encourage everyone to take a look at the candidate statements, ask questions that you think are important and will lead to extra insight into the candidates, and to let the WMUK board know (confidentially - email comments to me, or your trustee of choice) what you think of the candidates, and which ones you think would be most suited for being a WMF trustee.
Thanks, Mike

Hello people,
So after receive authorization from all candidates, the list of candidates
- statements are in meta, and you can find it here: http'://
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Candidates
Until 14 March is time for questions, so if you have any questions to any of the candidates, please put your question in this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Candidates/... are already some questions and some answers there)
So there is only one thing. Candidates are not forced to answer, and even if they do, they're not forced to answer in public, so might happens that some answers won't go to meta. If you ask a question and the candidate don't want to make the answer public, I will send you a mail with the answer - but of course, you can't leak the answer anywhere.
Also do keep in mind this isn't a community vote. We are trying to keep as public as we can, but the discussions the chapters will have will be private. So don't expect me to post those in meta. _____
