Posting on behalf of the Election Committee, Philippe
Dear all,
We, the election committee, hereby announce the opening of a new election for members of the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees. At least three positions will be filled from this election, with the elected members serving a two year term.
It is important to note that election processes are slightly different this year than in previous years: all candidates should be certain to thoroughly read the FAQ at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/en
From today, June 10th, we're accepting candidates for the Board of Trustees. If you're interested, you must make a candidate statement and list yourself on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Candidates/en
We also need the help or translators for the elections, so if you're fluent in any language other than English, and willing to help, please list yourself here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Translations
If you have any questions, please first read the FAQ, then list your questions to the talk page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/FAQ/en
The official announcement is available on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/en
We are confident that this election will draw very qualified candidates, and we wish them the best of luck.
Regards,

Speaking of elections, does anyone know when the ArbCom elections for English Wikipedia are going to be? Thanks. ~~~~
