hello, hope my message finds you well. thank you for your interest in running for the Board. i do have a question regarding the photo File:Alvin Ategyeka.pdf you used in your application -- who is the author (=who is the person that took the picture)? there is no information about their permission or it being published elsewhere under a free licence. if your camera/phone was used to create a picture -- it does not automatically give you the rights. so i suggest you insert some other picture with clear copyright status (or you can just take a selfie and upload it to use, as there you would be the author). good luck!

p.s. also make sure that: 1) you have completed the WMF Board of Trustees Candidate Pre-Onboarding module; 2) you have read the minimum candidate requirements (including voter-eligibility) and verified that you meet the minimum qualifications and the candidate eligibility requirements; 3) your application is complete, including answering all the required questions, and that your whole application (required + optional questions) does not exceed 2,500 words; and 4) if you have not done so already, submit your proof of identity to the Foundation per the protocol outlined here. You need to take this step even if you have submitted this proof previously for some other role. also please note: According to the Wikimedia Foundation bylaws, all Trustees must resign from any other board, governance, or paid positions at the Foundation and Affiliates within 2 weeks of appointment to the Board. You cannot be a paid member of staff on any affiliate while being a Wikimedia Foundation Trustee --アンタナナ 08:22, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
