Hi everyone, I am following up on the *Movement Charter Drafting Committee* thread to announce that *we have closed the call for candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candidates#Candidates>* . We will now focus on final checks and technical clean up (incl. removing incomplete candidate statements) and are planning to share the next steps update on Monday.
Have a great continuation to your week!
