This resolution was approved on March 23, 2022. |
Whereas, the Board of Trustees has room to grow by up to five Trustees, under the amended Bylaws adopted in 2020;
Whereas, there is a selection process for the Community- and Affiliate-Selected Trustees being planned for 2022;
Whereas, the Board had previously planned to select four trustees in the 2022 Community- and Affiliate-Selected Trustee selection process;
Whereas, the Wikimedia Foundation posted a call for feedback about the upcoming trustee selection process;
Whereas, the Board created a task force to provide Board oversight for the 2022 trustee selection process; and
Whereas, the Board currently has five Trustees who are in their first term, as well as a CEO who is in her first year;
Now, therefore, it is
RESOLVED, that in the upcoming process to select Community- and Affiliate-Selected Trustees, the Board will only seek to fill two seats (the ones currently occupied by Nataliia Tymkiv and Shani Evenstein Sigalov);
RESOLVED, that the Board will ensure that affiliates’ preferences are structurally incorporated into the 2022 trustee selection process, though the exact manner of incorporation is yet to be determined; and
RESOLVED, that Board intends to appoint the Community- and Affiliate-Selected Trustees at its September 2022 meeting, and the Board Selection Task Force should plan the timeline for the selection process accordingly.
