ESEAP Preparatory Council

Dear Bluerasberry, I took the initiative to redirect the EPC acronym to the ESEAP Preparatory Council page. I fully respect your original intent to redirect the acronym to the Election Protection Connection, but the page's name is now no longer current. I would humbly suggest that you create a new acronym redirect to your user group's new page name, Wikimedia Election Committee User Group. With kind regards, Buszmail

@Buszmail: It's fine! Best wishes for your new group. 01:42, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Invitation to Serve as a Judge for the Wikimania Poster Session

Hello, Lane. I'm inviting you to serve as a judge for the Poster Session at Wikimania 2025. As someone deeply engaged in the Wikimedia movement and currently a candidate for the Board of Trustees, your insights and experience would bring tremendous value to the evaluation of this year’s posters.

The judging process would involve reviewing posters online and providing a score. You can score as many posters as you have time for.

We would be honoured if you could join us in recognising and encouraging the innovative work of Wikimedians from around the world. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are available to participate so that I can share the scoring sheet with you - just write me an email: vdoroninaATwikimedia.org

I must say that this is not a part of the election process, please feel free to decline.

Thank you for considering this invitation. I wish you the best of luck with your candidacy for the Board of Trustees. Victoria (talk) 09:30, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite. I emailed you to say yes. Bluerasberry (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! And update on 2025 Board of Trustees selection process

Dear Bluerasberry,

Today, the Wikimedia Foundation Board announced the final ballot of four candidates for the 2025 Board of Trustees selection process. This year, the candidate selection process included both periods of candidate review before community voting: an affiliate shortlisting process, and a process of Board review. While you are not one of the candidates on the final ballot, I want to thank you on behalf of the Board for putting yourself forward and dedicating so much of your volunteer time to the Board selection process.

As the outgoing Board Chair, I also want to encourage you to continue to explore leadership and governance positions in the movement, and to consider participating in future Board elections and other movement positions. Developing leaders for our movement, including growing future Trustees, is very important for me and for the Board, and we want to support you in future leadership opportunities. If you have any feedback on your experience as a candidate, I invite you to share it with me or with other members of the Board.

Thank you again, and I hope to see you around the wikis!

Best regards,

Nataliia Tymkiv

Chair, Wikimedia Foundation
