You're referring to these links (repeating links isn't a terrible thing to
do, particularly in longer threads):

* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats
* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-selected_Board_seats/2012/Nominate

Sorry, I was a bit unclear, but neither of these were really what I was
looking for. I think both of those pages are messy, very internal, and
difficult to understand.

I started improving <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees>
to be what I was looking for. :-)
