Greetings,
I am thrilled to invite you to the tenth edition of the DCW Conversation
Hour, happening tomorrow, 24 October 2023, at 15:00 UTC.

world, and how it can serve as the printing press for oral culture. The
conversation features Marcel Heyne, an internet entrepreneur and co-founder
of the Audiopedia Foundation.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] For Review & Comment: 2024 WMF Board of Trustees
selection rules package
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
Please review and comment on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Boa…>
selection rules package from now until *29 October 2023*. The selection
rules package was based on older versions by the Elections Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Elections_Committee>
and will be used in the 2024 Board of Trustees selection.
The rules package includes campaign rules
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…>,
voter eligibility criteria
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…>,
and the voting method, platform, and timeline
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…>.
In previous Board selections, the voter eligibility criteria and the voting
method were adjusted to fit expressed community needs. The Candidate
Guidelines were originally developed during the 2022 election and have been
revised.
The Wikimedia Foundation staff are supporting a community comment period
for the rules package so the Elections Committee can receive comments and
concerns well in advance of the Board selection process. Completing this
comment period now will allow time for the Elections Committee to adapt the
rules package as appropriate.
Please visit the Meta-wiki talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024>
to provide your comments now and invite people you know to do so as well.
Your comments will help the Elections Committee provide a smoother, better
Board selection process.
Regards,
KTC
Chair of the Elections Committee
