[Wikimedia-in-en] WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions

Hello everyone, As a result of the first three weeks of the call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats, three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics. Topics and Panels time are: - Skills for Board work <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/Topic_panels/Topic_panel:_Skills_for_board_work>[1] - Friday, March 12, 23:30 IST (18:00 UTC) - Support for candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/Topic_panels/Topic_panel:_Support_for_candidates>[2] - Saturday, March 13, 19:00 IST (13:30 UTC) - Board - Global Council - Hubs <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/Topic_panels/Topic_panel:_Board_-_Global_Council_-_Hubs>[3] - Saturday, March 13, 21:30 IST (16:00 UTC) - Regional diversity <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/Topic_panels/Topic_panel:_Regional_diversity>[4] - Sunday, March 14, 18:30 IST (13:00 UTC) To counter spamming, the meeting link will be updated on the Meta-Wiki pages and also on the Telegram announcements channel <https://t.me/wmboardgovernanceannounce>[5], 15 minutes before the official start.
