You are invited to join our next *Conversation with the Trustees* on *17
February at 18:30 UTC* (check your local time
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1645122658>).
The event is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees’ Community
Affairs Committee (CAC)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee>.
The Board of Trustees is a volunteer body of movement leaders and external
experts in charge of guiding the Wikimedia Foundation and ensuring its
accountability. This forum is an opportunity for the community to directly
engage with Trustees and talk openly about our work.
We will be hosting this conversation on Zoom with a live YouTube stream
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCU7aObkG84>.
The call will be 90 minutes: a 10 minute introduction, then a 20 minute
update from Trustees and Wikimedia Foundation staff, and the remaining time
dedicated to open Q&A and conversation.
We want to make these calls interactive, so we encourage as many of you as
possible to join us directly in Zoom. All community members in good
standing will be able to join us there.* Request the Zoom link by emailing
askcac(a)wikimedia.org <askcac(a)wikimedia.org>*g>*.
If you would like to be added to a list to receive emails with Zoom links
for these calls in the future, please indicate that in your email.
We will work to provide interpretation for languages with five or more
interested community members. *To request interpretation, please email
askcac(a)wikimedia.org <askcac(a)wikimedia.org>rg>. *You can do this up until 5
days before the meeting to allow us to make the necessary arrangements.
Closer to the date we will send out a *reminder with more information about
the agenda*, but for now please *save the date and register* for the Zoom
room!
A final note -- in our last meeting (October 2021), we shared that we plan
to meet again on December 2021. This meeting was pushed to Jan, and then
Feb, in order to allow for more of the Trustees and Foundation leadership
to join, including our new CEO.
We have made necessary arrangements so that this year we will be able to
meet the community more regularly (every other month). You will find
the planned
dates of future meetings throughout the year
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee#Upcoming_events>
on Meta, so you can hopefully "save the date" in advance.
Hoping to see as many of you as possible,
Shani (on behalf of the CAC).
