[Wikimedia-l] 2021 Board of Trustees Call for Candidates

2021-06-08 Thread Jackie Koerner 
Hi Friends, I am forwarding this message about the Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees Call for Candidates.
Best,
Jackie K.

The 2021 Board of Trustees election

is
coming soon.  Candidates from the community are needed to fill the
available seats.

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees oversees the Wikimedia
Foundation's operations. Community trustees and appointed trustees make up
the Board of Trustees. Each trustee serves a three year term. The Wikimedia
community has the opportunity to vote for community trustees.

Wikimedia contributors will vote to fill four seats on the Board in 2021.
This is an opportunity to improve the representation, diversity, and
expertise of the Board as a team.

Who are potential candidates? Are you a potential candidate? Find out more
on the apply to be a candidate

 page.

Thank you for your support,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Movement funding questions

2021-06-08 Thread টিটো দত্ত Tito Dutta 
Greetings,
Hope this message finds you well. The questions were pretty clear, the
answer was not that much clear to me. However I understand that answers
will be updated once the reports are published, preferably in an inline
answer format.

(A comment in general) I see, these days, more and more questions are taken
from mailing lists to talk pages and are answered there. I'll be very happy
if we use talk pages more to discuss.
But, while a thread is being copied from a mailing list thread to a talk
page, we can perhaps think of a standard procedure.
On thing we may add at the top:
{{Hatnote|1=This was originally posted on [FULL_URL| Wikimedia-l] and is
being answered here for }}
This can also be done creating an easy template with a couple of variables
such as
{{Mailing_list_post| list= |posted_by= |date= }}


ইতি,
টিটো দত্ত
