Re: [Wikimedia-l] Affiliations Committee election results
Thank you Bence for your update and Carlos for running the whole process. Congratulations to the new and re-appointed members of the committee! Looking forward to working with the committee and to seeing you all in April in Berlin. :) Cheers, Nicole On 18 January 2014 22:39, Bence Damokos bdamo...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Community Members, I am happy to let you know that the Affiliations Committee has finished the selection process for the 2014-2015. The six sitting members of the Committee will be joined by four very experienced Wikimedians: - Cynthia Ashley-Nelson - Kirill Lokshin - Galileo Vidoni (re-appointment) - Lodewijk Gelauff (re-appointment) Along with the vast Wikimedia experience they bring to the Committee, we really appreciate the organisational development, governance and language skills that are being brought on-board (and stays on-board with the re-appointments). I would like to thank everyone who has applied to a position in the Committee. While due to practical reasons, we could not accept everyone, but anyone who has considered applying and helping other volunteers through this Committee are a huge asset to this movement, and I really hope they will all find places and roles where they can help our movement grow. I would also like to thank our vice-chair, Carlos, who has run much of the selection process behind the scenes ensuring that both the applicants and the Committee members have a smooth experience.

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Closure of trademark policy consultation
Hi everyone, We are happy to announce the completion of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.[1] We first launched a community consultation to gather input for the first draft of this policy on June 3, 2013.[2] The first draft was then discussed and significantly revised in a second consultation.[3] Many thanks to everyone who participated in this discussion over the past seven months. Your detailed feedback resulted in significant improvements to the policy.[4] The new policy is more readable, thorough, and consistent with our values, thanks to your collaboration. We look forward to recommending the final draft to the Wikimedia Board. You can read more about the trademark policy update on the Wikimedia blog.[5] Thanks, Yana and Geoff [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trademark_policy [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Trademark_practices_discussion [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Trademark_policy [4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trademark_policydiff=7066184oldid=6408509 [5] https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/01/19/announcing-wikimedias-new-community-centered-trademark-policy/ -- Yana Welinder Legal Counsel Wikimedia Foundation 415.839.6885 ext. 6867 ___ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Wikimedia-l, the public mailing list of the Wikimedia community.
