Hello everyone, The vote results have been announced and our new Trustees - Michał Buczyński and Bobby Shabangu will be seated at the December Board meeting. We look forward to their perspectives on the Board.
I wrote previously [5] about our willingness to engage in reform of our Board election process and we welcome your perspectives on the process. The Board's Governance Committee [6] (which is tasked with overseeing the selection process) welcomes specific proposals and ideas for reform here on this talk page [5]. They will have a meeting after the December Board meeting to discuss a roadmap that helps us make both incremental improvements and large-scale changes. We remain committed to work on improvements of the selection process, and working with the communities, affiliates and the elections committee, to make this process better for all stakeholders, including for the Board itself.
