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:

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.
