Wikimedia UK has currently not endorsed any candidate for the two Chapter affiliate seats on the WMF Board of Trustees. Neither has any UK candidate stepped forward. Does anyone have views to share on this list for which candidate they feel would best represent the interests of our volunteers? There is around a week left and Michael Maggs (the UK Chairman) has stated that the chapter might endorse a candidate if there were a "groundswell of opinion". The candidates are: * Frieda Brioschi * Mallory Knodel * Patricio Lorente * Anders Wennersten * Alice Wiegand You can find links to their nomination statements at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2014/Nominat… To put questions to the candidates goto: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2014/Questio… A related chapter discussion thread is at <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Engine_room#Affiliate-selected_seats_on_the_board_of_the_Wikimedia_Foundation> if you prefer to write there. I am a bit disappointed there have not been more candidates (dropping from 8 in 2012 to 5 this year). The "chapters movement" (and the GLAM programme) would be best served by strong competition for these positions. Fae -- faewik(a)gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae
