Hello everyone, 


As per the general feedback received in the last meeting (December), it is preferable to have bi-monthly meetings about various agendas. Therefore, for the first meeting of 2022, Biplab & I will co-host the conversation around the upcoming Board of Trustee elections for which a “Call for Feedback” has been announced. [1] 


Few seats will be open for election this year and the Board of Trustees wishes to know your opinion about:

  1. What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates?

  2. What are the expectations for the candidates during the election?

A 3rd question will be added

I firmly believe & I hope you will agree as well that community participation is important in governance discussions especially as the outcome impacts the community 100%, I encourage you to attend the meeting with us. 

Also, I would further like to receive details about members who have contributed to the NE / MAI / DTY projects extensively so that we could write about them on the Diff blog. [2]
