[Wikimedia-l] Board Recruiting Update

[Boryana Dineva]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share an update on the new board members search.

The search is progressing well. We asked for and received nominations
from the board of trustees, the advisory board, WMF staff, the WMF
executive team, and the community, with a total poll exceeding 70
candidates. The pipeline of nominees was extremely diverse. Our
recruiting team also did an extensive search based on the role
description criteria and sent in a list of candidates that had all the
characteristics, skills and experience we are looking for.

Having narrowed down the number in several rounds of review (basing on
criteria prepared by the staff, as well as the criteria proposed by
the Board Governance Committee), we are meeting with finalists to
collect more information and get acquainted over this week and next.
After that, all finalists will interview with Lila, and finally with
our panel comprised by the BGC (and likely also the Board Chair). The
BGC will decide and present recommendations of chosen candidates to
the whole Board.

We have weeks of work yet ahead of us, but I am happy to report that
we have made great progress to date. I am copying Dariusz, our BGC
chair, in case he would like to add anything also.

Warm regards,
Boryana
