Hello, The Wikimedia Board Election Steering Committee invites all community members to endorse candidates they support. Endorsements may be submitted on meta now till next Saturday, 23:59 June 23, 2007.

Each qualified community member can submit up to three endorsements. Please note several things: - Only confirmed candidates are listed by Election Committee or its delegate, so the list can be updated during the endorsements phase. - You need an account on meta, not just the project that you are qualified to vote under, unless you meet the criteria on meta too. - Please link your meta user page and your home wiki page. Detailed procedure can be found on the meta endorsement page.

All information is available on meta at: On endorsements: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Endorsements/en On candidates each: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Candidates/en Election general: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/en FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/FAQ/en

Thanks to devoted volunteering translators, those pages are also available in some languages other than English. We thank those translators as well editors who have helped to disseminate the news about this Election, including the latest sitenotice updates on several wikis.

Please consider forwarding to the project(s) you take part in as well the mailing list(s) you belong to. Sitenotice update and localization would also be appreciated.

Thank you for your attention, we look forward to your participation.
