This procedure is apparently based on the belief that the various regional
and thematic user groups are unable to evaluate candidates themselves,
without having guidance on how to do so by a special committee chosen for
the purpose.

Thanks for providing that link Pharos: this is for
seating someone to an analysis
committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliate_Organization_Participation/Analysis_Committee>
to help rate candidates in discussion with 8 other regional or thematic
representatives.
The ratings will be for informational purposes. The original timeline
hoped to have this decided by the 15th. It was later extended until the
20th. I am hoping North American affiliates can finalize this within the
next few business days. There are currently four nominees

for this committee seat.
As you mentioned, each affiliate is also asked to select one
representative to participate in the affiliate question period and cast a
vote on behalf of the affiliate organization during the affiliate voting
period:

Hi fellow Wiki-Americans,
Every US usergroup is being invited to pick an "affiliate
representative" to help participate in the process for the WMF board
election, that will narrow the 13 candidates to 6 that will appear on the
ballot:

The deadline is in 10 days!
Thanks,
