[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Election Committee 2013

[Ting Chen]

Hello dear community,

I am glad to announce this year's election committee:

Ferdinando Scala is an experienced Italien wikipedian who candidated for 
the board in 2011
Jon Harald Søby is a wikipedian from Sweden and served as an election 
committee member on 2011 and 2009
Katie Chan is an long year wikipedian who lives in the United Kingdom 
and was on the election committee of 2008
Ralf Roletschek is a very respected community member on the German 
wikipedia and on Commons
Risker is a long year wikipedian on the English Wikipedia

The following two staff members will provide support for the committee:
Philippe Beaudette is a long year wikipedian on English wikipedia and 
served on the election committee for the past years. He is currently an 
employee of the Foundation and I asked him to support the committee
Geoff Brigham is Foundation's currenty general council and will give you 
support on legal issues.

As in this year at the same time the FDC will also be elected for the 
first time, the election committee will also handle this election.

I would like to thank the volunteers for their dedication of time and work.

Greetings
Ting
