Hello guys
Sj and I actually missed the first call for opinion of the UG with
regards to candidates to the Board of Trustees. Sj saw the reminder
today... and the deadline for the UG submission is on the 28th midnight.
So time is short. Sorry about that.
For your complete information, please see Ramzy email below (but you
do not need to read it all if you do not with too)
So what we need from you
*A. Please check out the full list of all candidates to the BOT. This
is here: *
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Candidates
*B. For each of them, please give a grade from 0 to 5*
0 means: no support
5: super extra massive support
If you do not mention the name or if you do not mention a grade, the
person will get 0.
To make it simpler for you, the list

Hello,
You are receiving this message either as a primary or secondary
contact
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_user_groups/User_Group_Primary_Contact_Rights_%26_Expectations> of
a recognized Wikimedia movement Affiliate that is currently compliant
with their reporting obligations (list of all Affiliates currently
compliant
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Affiliates_Status_Report/Archive/2025-07>).
This is a friendly reminder that the shortlisting process to produce 6
(six) final candidates that will be voted on by the wider community is
open until Monday, July 28, 2025 at 23:59 UTC. Your group is eligible
to participate in the shortlisting process based on the candidates’
alignment with the requirements and desired criteria for candidates
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Candidate_application>.
* If your affiliate has identified your representative for the
shortlisting process by filing out the LimeSurvey that was sent
alongside the previous email, you can go ahead and participate in
the shortlisting process.
* If your affiliate did not manage to identify your representative
for the shortlisting process in time (i.e. you did not fill out
the LimeSurvey), we will accept votes only either from the primary
contact or the secondary contact
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_user_groups/User_Group_Primary_Contact_Rights_%26_Expectations>
of
the Affiliate as listed in the Foundation’s database.
* Please ensure that only one response per affiliate is submitted.
Here’s the course of action for the shortlisting process:
[Note: LimeSurvey is a third-party service that may subject it to
additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling,
see the survey privacy statement
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Board_Candidate_Shortlisting_Process_2025_Privacy_Statement>.]
* Go to xxxurl
*
Fill out the following questions:
o Name of the Affiliate
o Name or username of the representative
o
Select up to 6 candidates that your Affiliate decided to be
most aligned with the Board’s requirements and desired criteria
o There will be a list of all 12 (twelve) eligible candidates,
and you will be able to select a maximum of 6 candidates;
these candidates are not ranked.
o
Documentation on the affiliate’s decision-making process to
arrive at this selection.
+ This can be a description of your process, a link to a
wiki page, Google Doc, Etherpad, or similar. You may also
opt to email the documentation separately to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
o Comment (if there is anything else not covered by this form)
* You may submit your vote until Monday, July 28, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
After the shortlisting process concludes, the 6 (six) candidates who
receive the highest number of votes will be announced by the Elections
Committee on Wikimedia-l and Meta-wiki, but without publicly
mentioning their ranking. As mentioned on the Meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024#Shortlisting_process>,
the results of this shortlisting process will be shared after the
election closes, to avoid influencing the vote.
If you have any questions, please reply all to this email.
On behalf of the Elections Committee and the Governance Committee,
Ramzy Muliawan
Committee Support Specialist
