Hi Elena,
I can't attend this live, since it is happening during the working day
in Europe.
Please could you commit to sharing a recording (and multilingual audio)
on the Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia repository - Commons - after
the event?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello, everyone.
TLDR:
Join the Conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
on October 20, 2021 at 11:00 UTC(check for your local time
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1634724017>).
During the meeting, you will:
* Meet the incoming CEO, Maryana Iskander.
* Meet the candidates nominated through the latest Community-Selection
process to the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees
* Learn about Board Committees’ work
* Engage through a Question & Answers session (partly pre-sent, and
partly live).
Now in more details:
What are we announcing?
The Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees’ Community Affairs
Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee>(CAC)
is hosting its second Conversation with the Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees (formerly called an Office Hour), which is an open
forum for the community to directly engage with Trustees.
Come and meet the Board of Trustees, including the candidates
nominated for the Board through the latest Community-Selection
process, and the incoming CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation; learn about
what the Board of Trustees has been up to lately; and engage through
the Question & Answers section!
When & Where?
The meeting will be held on October 20, 2021 at 11:00 UTC(check for
your local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1634724017>)!
We promised at the last meeting to alternate the timings for these in
order to accommodate a wider range of time zones to be able to join in.
At least 3 Trusteesand relevant Wikimedia Foundation staff will be in
attendance.
The session will be streamed live and recorded, so those who cannot
participate live will be able to watch later.
Those who cannot attend are welcome to send questions in advance to
the session (details below).
How will it work?
The meeting will last for 90 minutes.
The first 40 minutes will includea short introductionto the session,
and an update on what the Board has been working onlately.
It will be followed by 50 minutes of Questions & Answers: around 20-30
minutes of answering questions sent in advance, and an additional
20-30 minutes of live questions.
We will be monitoring YouTube, the Wikimedia General Chat Telegram
group <https://t.me/WikimediaGeneral>and the Meta talk page for live
questions.
We would like to encourage everyone, especially those who cannot
participate at the designated time, to send questions for the Board in
advance of the meeting. The structure is meant to enable the CAC to
not only update the community on current matters the Board is working
on, but also hear directly from the community. This will both
increase the transparency around the Board’s work and will help inform
the CAC’s future work.
Setting the agenda with your Questions
In order to be as efficient as possible, and since we anticipate that
some questions will require answers from Wikimedia Foundation Staff,
we are encouraging community members to send questions in advance.
Please send all questions to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>, by Wednesday, October 13(midnight,
whatever time zone you may be in).
The Q & A section in the meeting agenda will be based on the main
topics related to the questions received. We will share more exact
topics on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/2021-10-20_Conversation_with_Trustees>3
days before the meeting, including final names of Trustees in attendance.
Please note --
* Participants will still be able to ask questions liveif that is
preferred.
*If you miss the deadlinefor sending questions (October 13th), you can
still send questions, if they are not addressed during the meeting, we
will follow up in writing after the meeting.
Registering to attend the meeting
For security reasons and specifically to avoid Zoombombing
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombombing>, we will be sending the
Zoom link only to people who have registered in advance close to the
meeting. In order to register, please send an email to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. The title should
be: “Registration for the October 20 Conversation with Trustees”, and
it should indicate your name, username, affiliationif you have any,

Requests for live translation must be sent at least a weekbefore the
session, October 13th. As live translation is costly, there is a
minimum of 5 peopleregistering and requesting translation to a
specific language that is required to request for a live translation.
If you miss the deadline of requesting translation, or if there is no
minimum of 5 people requesting translation, you will still be able to
see the main points after the meeting, which will be translated to
Arabic, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, German and English.
