While there are enough candidates for almost unpredictable elections for Board (thanks to Sj's late candidature) and there are three good candidates for two positions in FDC, there is no candidate for FDC Ombudsman position and deadline is tomorrow evening.
So, if you have experience in finances and you are willing to read complains and act upon them, or you know someone like that, please take the initiative and become or find a candidate. And, of course, you can consider to make Board and FDC elections more interesting by submitting your candidature there :) On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 6:29 AM, Risker <[email protected]> wrote: > I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are now being accepted for > the 2013 Wikimedia Foundation Elections.
