Hi all, just a short rectification: We have up to 2 (not 3) appointed seats in the board. So in total our board consists of 9 members: 7 elected by the general assembly and 2 appointed.
I am happy that now, with the appointment of Gabriele and Peter, we have all seats on our board filled. Best regards, Tim 2017-11-30 13:47 GMT+01:00 Tim Moritz Hector <[email protected] >: > Dear all, > > I am delighted to announce that Wikimedia Deutschland’s Board has taken > the opportunity to appoint two new members for the first time.
