Joe,
You don't mean "election" when it comes to the Board, unless you mean
"election to the position of being considered for appointment by the
Board". Unless and until those positions are either truly directly elected
by the Community, or the Board commits itself to appointing whomsoever the
Community nominates irrespective of the Board's own view of their fitness
for the post – which would be a violation of their duty as Trustees –
please avoid the misleading term "election" and replace it by
"nomination",
or "selection", or "pre-election", or some other term that correctly
reflects the fact that the only body with power to appoint a Board member
is the Board itself.

Um. I of course mean "election", not
"meeting". :)

Hello all!
The Support and Safety team is looking for your thoughts on the recent
Wikimedia Foundation elections cycle - that is, the Board of Trustees
elections in April/May, and the Funds Dissemination Committee meeting in
May/June.
What do you think went well, and what do you think could have gone
better?
I'd love your thoughts, either on this email thread or on the dedicated
Meta-Wiki page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_
elections/2017/Post_mortem
Feel free to email me privately if you'd like to.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, good or bad. :)
best,
Joe
