[Wikimedia-l] Your support is wanted: The WMF Board of Trustees is looking for a new Board member

[Jan-Bart de Vreede]

AHHH!

Oh wow, thats pretty bad. 

Funny thing is: I really don't have the board manual url bookmarked (terrible of me) and i googled "BOARD MANUAL WIKIMEDIA"… and you will never guess what the first result was…. the Wikimedia one doesnt really show up until the 6th result :( sorry about that.. my intentions were good…

(so yes, please feel free to make sure we no longer have a Wikipedia Board Manual, as we don't have a wikipedia board :)
