Thanks Alice.
For those interested in this, you might like to note that James Hare has
started a discussion about the method used to select these Board members,
here; - it reflects the likelihood that thematic orgs will be part of the
decision not just chapters.

Hi all,
In 2013 the WMF Board of Trustees started to publish proposed bylaw changes
on Meta for consultation with the community. As we want to continue with
this new tradition you find a proposed change at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_bylaws/January_2014_-_Amendment_for_Trustees_selected_by_Chapters_and_Thematic_Organizations
The Board Governance Committee (BGC) was commissioned by the Board to
prepare the resolution and the BGC present it to the Board at the same time
we publish it on Meta. Now a 10 day discussion phase starts after which the
Board starts voting.
I'm happy to invite you to review and discuss the resolution draft. Please
share your comments on the talk page.
Regards,
Alice.
