First of all congratulations to all candidates, it's hard to put your name forward, it takes courage and time to write a candidacy. I also want to thanks Christophe for his 3 years term.
And last but not least, Nataliaa and Shani, I wish you all the best for your role as Trustees (and congrats for being elected!).

The ASBS voting was an exciting process, as it was a first and
important
step to deepen and broaden participatory decision making in our
movement. I
thank the current board members who have been bold and launched this process. I also thank the election facilitators who have worked
restlessly
to make this happen. Thanks to candidates who have contributed to a productive, engaging exchange of ideas with community members.
The election of Nataliia and Shani is of course wonderful.
Congratulations!
From what I can tell, the Brazilian community --which has gone through
such
a hard period in recent times-- is wholeheartedly celebrating for you!
Cheers,

*Dear Wikimedians, We are writing to let you know the result of the election for the 2 Affiliate Selected Board Seats on the Wikimedia Foundation board. The successful candidates were Nataliia Tymkiv and
Shani
Evenstein Sigalov. A total of 122 affiliates voted, 85% of the 143
eligible
to vote, which is a record. As you know the election was conducted
under a
variation of the Single Transferable Vote, which meant that prorated
votes
were redistributed between candidates to come up with the final
result.
In
the 10th step of counting the final place, after Nataliia Tymkiv was elected, was between Shani Evenstein Sigalov (40.519678) and Richard
Knipel
(40.480322). We have put the full count narrative on meta so that
others
can verify it if they wish.[1] It is the closest ASBS result for some
time,
and all candidates brought very valuable perspectives to the work of
the
WMF. In the 9th step of counting Reda Kerbouche lost by a very small margin. Adding a ballot with rank #1 for Richard or Reda would result
in
them being elected instead of Shani. The same goes for removing a
ballot.
Changing the ranking on one of the ballots in a specific can way can
result
in a different outcome for the second seat. This is an election in
which
every vote counts. As in any election, there is a chance that some
voters
misinterpreted the instructions and voted wrongly. We don't see a justification for an action as extraordinary and controversial as
opening
votes for review after the vote period is over. The instructions were visible and clear: "Rank any candidate from 1 (your preferred
candidate) to
11 (your least preferred candidate)." After voting, voters received a confirmation email stating the name of each candidate they voted with
the
number of their rank: Rank 1, Rank 2, ... The agency of voters should
be
respected. As part of the retrospective we may identify areas of improvements on our side, but still the process was quite simple and documented. Some voters realized they made a mistake and requested a
new
ballot. New ballots were issued in those cases. This choice was done because of the specific situation of this election, since the process
was
complex for new affiliates and participation, diversity and inclusion
were
a clear goal.[2] We have published on meta information about who got a
new
ballot within the voting deadline.[3] The Election Facilitators have
been
available nearly 24 hours a day monitoring the various communication channels to answer any questions affiliates might have. We did our
best
at
answering all of them. After our own scrutiny of the data, and based
on
our
experience in community processes, we strongly advise the community to respect the integrity of the process, and advise against allowing any modifications of votes at this point. If the votes had been reopened
for
modification with or without publishing vote results, that would have caused significant confusion and criticism that could have jeopardized
the
entire election. We will publish a debrief with recommendations for a
next
ASBS process on meta.[4] We invite all representatives of affiliates
to
a
feedback session at Wikimania.[5] We would like to congratulate
Nataliia
Tymkiv and Shani Evenstein Sigalov and thank everyone who stood.
