Today's your last chance to vote for Wikibase Community User Group contacts, who
represent the group to WMF and other affiliates, engage in partnerships, and file activity
reports and statements of needs/concerns as described at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_user_groups/User_Group_Primary_Co…
The vote closes in under three hours. Candidates must receive at least weak support to be
elected. Participation shows WMF and others that the group is active and its members are
engaged in the process, so please make your views known at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibase_Community_User_Group/2021_contact_…
after reviewing the candidates' statements.

Subject: [Wikibase] Re: Election of the official group contacts of the Wikibase Community
User Group
Hello everyone,
The voting phase to elect the group contacts of the Wikibase Community User Group has
started a few days ago.
You can vote until 2021-07-22 (17:00 UTC) on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibase_Community_User_Group/2021_contact_…
As there is only one candidate at the moment (and two positions), the self-nominating
phase is extended until the end of the votes, so you can still run for the position.
Cheers,
Envel Le Hir

A brief reminder: candidates for the election of group contacts must nominate themselves
by 2021-07-08 (17:00 UTC) on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibase_Community_User_Group/2021_contact_…
in accordance with the guidelines there.
Questions about duration and succession have been raised, and your input would be welcome:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikibase_Community_User_Group/2021_con…
Why you should nominate and/or vote:
While several groups are engaged in Wikibase development, often backed by institutions
with significant resources, the user group has filled a role in assisting individual
end-users; and as an affiliate is uniquely empowered to represent them and their interests
to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Additionally, while non-affiliated individuals may apply for grants in their own right,
the WMF looks favourably on those which have been discussed and approved by relevant
recognized affiliates, as long as they don't conflict with existing grants.
As such, it's important these positions are filled, so as to maintain the group's
ability to participate in official WMF discussions and elections, send delegates to
events, use Wikimedia's marks, and represent Wikibase users' interests. The
selected contacts will file annual reports, and act on the group's behalf after
consulting with members.
