I can assist you if you need.
However, it seems to me that this mailing list is (almost) dead (correct
me if I am wrong).
So voting announcements via mailing list go nowhere.

Hi all,
The voting period is now open.
Do we want to want to vote as a group? (I'm a bit concerned no-one
even aswered my previous email :/ ) and if so, how should we procede?
I was thinking about an internal vote, and take the results but I fear
there will be too few votes to be representative of the group. I need
you, /we /and /you /need you!
So the big question is: should I launch the internal vote and is
anyone interrested? (for obvious reasons, it would be good that
someone assist me to make sure everything is going fine).
For information, there is 12 candidates (listed with statements on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2019/Nominat…,
including the two seats whose terms have expired) and as remarked,
none « mentioned Wikisource specifically in their candidate statement
» (source:
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:News/2019-05 ).
Cheers,

Hi all,
As you may know, the election of the Affiliate-selected Board
seats (ASBS) has begun.
We, as the Wikisource Community User Group, can take part in this
election and elected two person to the Board of Trustees of the
Wikimedia Foundation.
The meta page
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliate-selected_Board_seats/2019
give some lengthy informations, here is a quick summary:
- since April 15 and until April 30, people will candidate to seat
at the board, at this step we can ask question to candidates and
*endorse* two candidates.
- between May 8 and May 31, we can vote.
For this whole process, I am the primary contact but we *all* make
the decision, I'm merely the messenger of the group here.
Here is how I suggest to proceed:
- right now, write together questions and criteria for candidate
we want to endorse (WMNL shared this table to help
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Assessing_candidates_for_the_Affiliate…
but it's very general, we should adapt it to this usergroup needs
; here is copy of this table
https://lite.framacalc.org/asbs2019-wcug we can work on). You can
also ask question in your own name.
- in May, we vote for the candidates inside the user group (not
sure how to best handle this part, I would prefer it to be public
but we can do it in private too) and then, I will take the results
and vote in the name of the user group.
- is anyone interested to be the secondary contact? (I'm a bit
busy so I could use some help ;) )
- if you feel the need, we can do an online meeting to talk about
it, but as we are scattered all around the globe, finding a good
timeslot is challenging. Would anyone be interested? (or is this
mailing list enough?)
- obviously, any question, idea, remark, suggestion are welcome!
Cheers,
~nicolas
