Hello everyone!
*Please disseminate this email to anyone who may be interested.*
As you are probably aware, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees[1] contains three community-selected seats which are voted in by the wider Wikimedia community on a regular cycle. In 2020, we will be hosting
another
one of these selection processes, which are coordinated by the Wikimedia Foundation in collaboration with the Elections Committee[2].
We are seeking 2–3 new members for the committee to join us in time for
the
first meetings in January 2020. Applicants will be vetted by Foundation staff and ultimately approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board
Governance
Committee[3]. The term is three years, though the bulk of the work
involved
occurs in the buildup to an election.
This role comes with the following responsibilities:
- Attending 3–4 meetings between January and April 2020 with the
Foundation
and the rest of the committee
- Setting up the wiki pages for the board election (example from last
cycle)
- Helping to mark pages for translation and potentially import
translations
as required
- Working with the committee to fulfill its other responsibilities[4]
Ideally, you would have the following qualities:
- Fluency in English
- Experience with advanced wikitext markup
- Responsiveness to email outreach
We are particularly interested in those who come from a traditionally under-represented background. If you are interested in volunteering for this role, please let me know by *emailing me directly before January 19, 2020*.
Thank you in advance for your interest! Please let me know if you have questions; I'm more likely to see these questions if you send them to me directly.
best, Joe
