Dear all,
Just to keep you up to date about our co-options process!
As you will probably know, we have a total of five vacant seats for the
Board at the moment, and we are in the process of filling them.
There are the three "co-opted" seats which were created at the AGM in June.
We are aiming to make some decisions on these in the next few weeks. For
these we have already advertised and had some informal "getting to know
you" conversations with prospective Trustees from a range of backgrounds,
and we are just about to do some more formal interviews.
One way you can input into this process is to help us draft interview
questions, please have a look here at what we are planning to ask, and add
your thoughts...

There are also two vacant seats from those elected at the AGM, which will
take a little longer to fill but we definitely wish to fill before the
December Board meeting. We are particularly keen that these seats are
filled by people with a strong knowledge of the Wikimedia community - if
you are reading this and thinking "yes, being a Wikimedia UK trustee sounds
really interesting", please do drop me a line. You can find out more about
this extremely rewarding role on our wiki, here:

Many thanks,
