== Community board seats - office hours with board members on Saturday ==
In January, the Wikimedia Foundation Board decided to change its structure. Thus, 6(!) of the now 16 seats on the board will be newly selected by the community this year. The Board is looking for a selection process ensuring more diversity and expertise within the board. The Board would like to gather extensive feedback from the community on this. To this end, there is a Call for Feedback, which is running from 1 February until 14 March. [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/en|Here you can find detailed information]].
In the course of this, many online conversations are held to discuss ideas and opinions on selection processes. A facilitation team collects the feedback, finally delivering a report for the board. [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Reports|Here you can find an overview of previous conversations and talks]].
'''This Saturday, office hours will take place in the presence of board members,''' at 6 am, 10 am, 4 pm, and 9 pm (UTC). This hopefully enables everyone to take part and to address questions to board members. [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/2021-02-20_-_Second_Office_Hours/en|Here you can find all the information about it]]. I would like to invite you to these conversations and would be happy to meet you there.

== Sunday talk - Community board seats ==
About three weeks ago, the ''[[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/en|Call for Feedback:Community seats on the Board]]'' began, with the Wikimedia Foundation Board asking the community what a redesign of the upcoming elections for the now six community seats on the Board should look like. Since then, in addition to seven Office Hours, far more than 50 regional discussion rounds have taken place worldwide, as well as numerous discussions ''on Wiki''. With this interim balance, the Call for Feedback is now entering its second half.
The feedback on the various proposals of the Board and from the community was as diverse as the participants. For the third time, the facilitation team has presented its [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Reports#Weekly_Reports|Weekly report, which summarises the current feedback]]. For those who would like an overview of the discussions to date, [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Reports|here is a list of links to the detailed reports]].
Overall, the process so far has revealed several areas of focus that will be given greater attention in the second half of the ''Call for Feedback'', namely:
* regional quotas
* candidates' skills
* vetting of candidates
* connecting the board elections, the Global Council and regional hubs.
And there is a new idea from the community to be discussed too: [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Candidate_resources|Candidate resources]]!
In order to present the ideas and also in view of these upcoming discussions, I would like to invite you to an online roundtable. This is an opportunity to present and discuss the ideas so far, to discuss possible new ideas with each other and to think through the possible key issues.
This '''round table will take place on Sunday, 28 February at 7:00 pm ''' (UTC +1). We will meet via Google Meet (anonymous participation possible), just click this link: https://meet.google.com/zcu-vkdr-hze See you on Sunday!
