Preparation for second Board election underway
The Wikimedia Foundation recently announced preparations for this year's election of Member Representatives to its Board of Trustees. Under the current Foundation bylaws (official PDF), the Board is composed of three initial Trustees and two Member Representatives, who are elected from the community each year. The bylaws section on Member Representatives states that "[t]he Board of Trustees shall determine the dates, rules and regulation of the voting procedures," and that "[t]he deadline for the issuance of ballots to eligible members shall be no more than thirty days prior to any election date." Rules and dates have not yet been set for this year's election.
