| अभिव्यक्ति | संक्षिप्त विवरण:
Listening and collaborating to reach common ground on difficult and time consuming issues, because there’s something more important at stake than our egos: This is what I learned in my five years of not-for-profit board membership, and my experience in the United States Senate. My experience managing political campaigns gifted me the ability to raise funds without selling out principles, something needed by Wikimedia right now. These experiences, combined with my MBA, have given me the ability to inform the difficult decisions the board faces, utilizing my training in marketing and finance. Wikimedia to me means bringing the world knowledge through Accuracy, Openness, and Civility. I look forward to listening to everyone over the next two years, and working to uphold these ideals. Please select me as a trustee for 2009-2011. I will not only meet, but exceed your expectations. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | I am focussed on the mapping, capture and continuity of the human knowledge(s) in their entirety thus embodied in the Foundation and its projects and would be delighted to bring my professional administrative acumen and humble living experience into play within the Board. I identify politically within the Foundation as an inclusionist. Please contact me for clarification directly through one of these channels:

| अभिव्यक्ति | As a Trustee, I will be an advocate of open, transparent dialogue with the community and will strive to serve as both its voice and its messenger.
Specifically, I will:
I have an extensive background in non-profit management and board experience that spans both the non-profit and for-profit worlds. Outside Wikimedia: I work at Tubefilter. I am an active participant in the DataPortability Project, where I have served as a member of the Steering Group and Treasurer of the Board since early 2008. I am a member and Secretary of the Open Web Foundation, a member of the OpenID Foundation, and a co-founder of the OpenFriends Project. I also lead efforts at Open Soil to create an open source model for seed licensing. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | मुझे लगता है कि मुझमें वह योग्यता और अनुभव है जो WMF के न्यासी मंडल की सेवा करने के लिए आवश्यक है. मैं WMF संचार समिति का सदस्य, फाउंडेशन का प्रेस संपर्क, और एक OTRS कानूनी प्रतिनिधि हूँ. मैं WMF समुदाय मे ऑफ़लाइन भी सक्रिय हूँ और मैने कई विकी-बैठकों में भाग लिया है और वॉशिंगटन डीसी में विकिपीडिया लवर्स आर्ट का नेतृत्व किया है. मैं ग्लुश्को-सैम्युलसन बौद्धिक संपदा क्लीनिक का एक नैदानिक छात्र वकील हूँ, और मई में मुझे जे डी प्राप्त हो जाएगा.
मैंने कार्यालय कर्मचारियों से कई बार मुलाकात की है, और वे प्रतिभाशाली, समर्पित शानदार लोग हैं, मैं मानता है कि बोर्ड को उनके रोजमर्रा के काम में हस्तक्षेप नहीं करना चाहिए, लेकिन फाउंडेशन का पर्यवेक्षण और मार्गदर्शन करना चाहिए. मैं मानता हूँ कि मैं यह सब एक समान विचारधारा वाले संगठनों के साथ एक रणनीतिक साझेदारी विकसित करके कर सकता हूँ. अंत मे मैंने स्मिथसोनियन अमेरिकी कला संग्रहालय से एक संबंध विकसित किया है जिसकी परिणिति उस समझौते मे हुई है जो संग्रहालय के डिजीटल संग्रह के एक बड़े हिस्से को Commons पर जारी करने के लिए तैयार हुआ है |

| अभिव्यक्ति | I've worked on core site technology and operations since 2004, and joined the WMF Board of Trustees in जनवरी 2008 - thus participated evolution of both technology and organization over the long years.
I see Wikimedia Foundation as a service organization, assisting communities with the projects, and maintaining the infrastructure for creativity and collaboration - providing legal groundwork, communication environment and of course, the free content technology. Organization itself is and should be, due to financing model, always ensuring high efficiency, and always be ready to balance between needs, wishes and capabilities. I'd like to represent a much larger community, not only editors bearing voting rights. There is wide audience of non-contributing users, who have their needs, and for those needs we are or should be working. There are advocates of our work and our mission, and we should assist them. This organization is just part of greater movement, which has chapters, sister organizations and all the volunteers - and it is important to steer it, to maintain the most sustainable balance, ensuring availability of free content for ages ahead - empowering each other. |

|---|---|
| अभिव्यक्ति | I have been involved in many projects, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Commons, translatewiki.net and I learned that a lack of technology, a lack of support and a lack of organisation hamper our projects. I am a firm believer in "putting your money where your mouth is" and I have invested in technology like OmegaWiki, the LocalisationUpdate extension and the proof of concept for a multilingual search for Commons. I will seek resources to realise with priority the missing functionality needed to properly support our existing languages and projects.
As a result of my advocacy for the support for the languages other then अग्रेज़ी, I became part of the language committee, a member of the World Language Documentation Centre. As a result of my interest in quality illustrations for our projects I promote digital restorations and I am instrumental in good relations with several डच GLAM. As a board member, I will seek to balance the needs of the other languages and cultures. I strongly believe that there is this Wikimedia movement and, in my experience we need to partner with organisations that share our values. Together we will realise our aim; to share the sum of all knowledge with everyone. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | I have an agenda to lift the accountability, professionalism, and excellence of the Wikimedia projects' leadership and content. I am a marketing research practitioner at a Fortune 100 media and communications company employing approximately 100,000 people. I have also played instrumental roles in launching several Internet brands, including MyWikiBiz.com and Akahele.org (the output of a non-profit corporation). I serve on the Boards of two different non-profit organizations. I'm happily married (sorry, gals) and I have one highly exuberant daughter.
I firmly believe that the WMF Board of Trustees is in need of a good shake-up, as it is engineering the growth of the Wikimedia properties, staff, and budgets with alarming speed, while doing almost nothing to curb the culture of unaccountability, lack of professionalism, and sub-average content quality. The "Wiki Way" was paved with good intentions, but lately harm to individuals and embarrassing disrepute seem to be more frequently ruling the day; so, it is time to step up and start making the hard decisions needed to save the Wikimedia projects from destroying themselves. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | As an अग्रेज़ी linguistics student who respects plurality, I consider myself suitable for taking this task and communicating with other people internationally. I study at UNED, a distance learning university. For this reason, I can organize my time and, if elected, participate in board duties.
Furthermore, I have been involved with the Spanish Arbitration Committee (aka CRC) during one year. I am also an administrator and bureaucrat since 2007. Apart from that, I am currently a checkuser on the Catalan wikipedia project, from where I am also preparing a talk that will take place in Wikimania 2009, in Argentina, next August. I have been able to earn the community confidence in those projects. In other words, I feel highly committed with Wikimedia projects and principles. As an experienced translator, who has attended and organized several wiki-meetings, with more than 100 articles translated, I feel myself able to translate Wikimedia policy if necessary. I have promoted Wikimedia projects worldwide in countries such as Uruguay, Spain or Andorra, in several interviews with the Media. I would like to keep on doing my job by assuming this responsibility from now onwards. |

कैट वाल्श (mindspillage)
[edit]| संक्षिप्त विवरण | 
|
|---|---|
| अभिव्यक्ति | I have been a WMF board member since October '06. I will finish my JD this year at George Mason, focusing on copyright, patent, trademark, policy, and economics, and have been an editor of the Journal of Law, Economics, and Policy. I am also a registered patent agent and a classical musician.
I see my role thus far as a "conscience", helping keep the board focused on Wikimedia's core values and principles: freedom, openness, neutrality, transparency, collaboration. I have a commitment to and understanding of free content and free software, the communities around them, and their ideals, goals, and practical aspects. I think it's also important to stand back and encourage independent community action, growth, and experimentation. I see the board as working on a big-picture level, creating a framework for decentralized community effort, and thinking both on the short term and the very, very long term. Some key projects I have been involved with include the license transition, licensing policy, patents/file formats, staff search/hiring/evaluation, subnational chapters, board restructuring, and the development of a professional office compliant with good nonprofit practices. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | Since I have become active at Wikipedia, I have noted that while every single episode of South Park has its own article, numerous topics which are of interest and genuine intellectual concern to those of us on the far right, have been treated with apparent disdain, and have been subjected to seemingly arbitrary deletion. It often seems to me as if articles that are of interest to persons on the political right, are held to a significantly higher standard, for the purposes of achieving notability.
My candidacy is derived from my concerns pertaining to the issue of freedom of speech, or perhaps more precisely, the objectivity of the administration of the WikiMedia Foundation's various projects, with particular emphasis on what I have come to perceive as a liberal-leftist bias ("political correctness") with regard to the administration of Wikipedia. I do not claim this is a huge problem. On the contrary, I have a very high regard for Wikipedia, as well as for the Wikimedia Foundation's efforts as a whole. However, my experiences at Wikipedia, as well as what I have learned in conversations with various others who have had similar experiences, have led me to conclude that this has become an issue that requires redress, and thus is one that can perhaps be best dealt with by having a sympathetic ear on the Board of Directors of the WikiMedia Foundation. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | After I have finished high-school this year, I intend to pursue an Honours Degree in nuclear physics at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I am a committed team player, but confident in taking the lead when required. I am determined, organised, and hard working. I have made significant contributions to the अग्रेज़ी Wikipedia, having both “Rollback” and “Account creator” rights.
I truly believe that I would make a great trustee. Although I am young, I am capable and mature. By striving for the impossible I always achieve the possible. Being on the board would give me the opportunity to make a significant difference. My main goal is to get South Africa, but also Africa, to become more involved with the Wikimedia Foundation. This would bring financial support, increased involvement, and help the Foundation to expand into largely untapped geographical regions. Being part of the Board of Trustees is one of my greatest dreams. By becoming a trustee, I could help the Foundation expand in various geographical regions. I am not seeking prestige or power; I would be highly motivated knowing that I could help achieve the Foundation's goals. So please, do not pre-judge me. I have what it takes. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | As an engineer, currently unemployed, and a former student in computer sciences, cognitive science and electr(on)ical engineering, I think I have the skills required to imply in WM and the Wikipedias in particular. I appreciate and support the seriousness, independency, democracy and open-mindedness of Wikipedias. I regularly improve the फ़्रांसीसी Wikipedia, essentially, by correcting typos, changing bad syntax into good and the like, and participating in the redaction of articles. I intervene in discussions and votes on page suppressions and so on. I'm doing my best to continuously continuing to learn wiki syntax and thus making more efficient contributions. I would be very glad to go on that way in the coming months, as a community member and why not as a board member. |

As a Board member, I would be a strong community voice, communicating regularly about the Board's work, holding open meetings and soliciting public input. I support developing expertise within the community. I would also:
Outside Wikimedia: For 3 years I have been director of content at One Laptop per Child, working on local partnerships for free content and offline distribution. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | About me: 47, (family, 3 children) and working as a specialist in internal medicine, sports medicine and as a senior emergency doctor in a rural region of Bavaria. A large part of the remaining time I'm working for Wikipedia, because I know that a vision only lives from people working for it.
The fact that Wikipedia is not only an innovation but a vision, that's no secret. ... and even a vision that has been high-flying so far. In addition, wiki succeeded not only in defining, but also in implementing transnational ideals and values. Some wiki-projects do run very good, others more hesitant. So, a vision is not a self-runner, but needs consistent support and goals. What they actually need, no one knows better than the community itself; so I (in case of being choosen) will be a board member "to touch" - who will try to realize your ideas (and not just my own). I have some experience in the leadership of volunteer organizations (although not on the global stage ☺). It would be a great honor for me to be allowed to represent your interest in the Board. |

| अभिव्यक्ति | मैं बोर्ड के एक सदस्य के रूप में पिछले साल चुना गया था. पिछले साल मैंने बोर्ड में सक्रिय रूप से रहते हुए विभिन्न प्रस्तावों और विषयों पर काम किया है, जिनमें BLP प्रस्ताव और लाइसेंसिंग नीति के परिवर्तन से संबंधित प्रस्ताव भी शामिल है. मैं बोर्ड नामांकन समिति मे हूँ और अध्याय समिति मे बोर्ड का प्रतिनिधि हूँ. पिछले शरद मे मैं जिमी वेल्स के साथ बीजिंग, चीन में था और हमारा काम चीनी अधिकारियों को हमारे कार्य का मिशन और लक्ष्य को समझाना था, साथ ही हमने उनसे उनुरोध किया कि वो ओलिंपिक खेलों के बाद भी विकीमीडिया परियोजनाओं को खुला रखें. मैं इसे अपना कर्तव्य समझता हूँ कि मैं बोर्ड की गतिविधियों से समुदाय के सदस्यों को परिचित कराऊं, साथ ही सदस्यों की सोच के बारे मे भी बोर्ड को सूचित करूं. मेरी नौकरी, बोर्ड मे मेरा काम और मेरे जीवन की अन्य चीजों के बावजूद मैने एक समुदाय सदस्य बने रहने, समुदाय के सदस्य के रूप में विभिन्न और विवादास्पद विषयों के बारे में चर्चा में भाग लेने, और विकीपीडिया पर अपना काम जारी रखने का अपना वादा निभाया है. मेरे चुनाव के बाद से मैंने zh-wp पर कई लेख लिखे हैं, साथ ही कई आधारों को सामान्य लेख बनाया है और कुछ लेखों को संशोधित किया है. मैंने Sul अनुरोधों की मदद करने के लिए अपना copyvio ग्रंथों या छवियों को साफ करने का प्रशासनिक काम जारी रखा है. मैं इन सब को अगले दो साल और भी एक समुदाय के सदस्य और एक बोर्ड के सदस्य के रूप में जारी रखना चाहूँगा. |
