Hi Brian,
Thank you for your feedback. When we sent out the announcement to everyone
here, we did say that if anyone feels they can contribute please go ahead
and put your name on the list even if you do not meet the criteria. We
thought that the Wikimedia community would want to contribute and be part
of the process, but in reality, only three people responded to our call.
We appreciate these representatives for stepping up to the plate to
contribute to the process.
In the spirit of the Wikimedia Movement Strategy, to be inclusive and
support open knowledge, I applaud everyone to reach out to others in our
community to help and support those who are not as fortunate to have the
skills and knowledge you have. We should be lifting each other up and stop
pushing others down for trying to help the community.
If anyone out there is willing to contribute to the Technical
Decision Forum process, please add your name to the list
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_decision_making/Community_rep_nomination>
.
Brian and everyone else, if you have ideas on how we can have more
community representation, please feel free to contact us at
TDFsupport(a)wikimedia.org. We need to come together with ideas and
solutions and remove negativity from the process.
Thank you,
Linh

So I see that User:Grunny, User:Rtnf and Dessalegn
Yehuala were appointed.
Respectfully, given the criteria was someone with +2 rights, I would
question the decision to appoint Dessalegn Yehuala, who not only has never
contributed to MediaWiki, but also appears to have never edited any
Wikimedia project, or even have an account.
