Hello,
This is reminder to vote in the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation elections before
14 May. Anyone who has ever made 300 Wikimedia edits and 20 edits in the
last year is eligible to vote.
The election seats 3 of the 10 members of the Wikimedia Foundation board of
trustees. The board oversees the work of the WMF executive director and
also approves the annual budget of $80 million.
Vote through the link on the main election page.

Note especially the candidate presentation pages

and the questions.

Again, there are 3 seats for these 8 candidates. As a matter of opinion, I
think all the candidates are good and any election outcome will have
benefits. However, I encourage all eligible voters to vote now and be aware
that you have ongoing opportunities to talk with the board we all select
and express your wishes and concerns.
Thanks,
--
