BoT Question

Hi Mike. Two members of the BoT rotate off tomorrow per meta:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees#Current members. Is there a time frame when we can expect an announcement of what the board passed about those seats, presumably, at the August meeting? -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

@Guerillero: Thanks for spotting the outdated page and asking this question. There were decisions made at the August board meeting at Wikimania about the two seats, which I understand are expected to be shared publicly next week. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:01, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
@Guerillero: Announcement is now out, see m:Wikimedia Foundation Board noticeboard/August 2023 Meeting Outcomes and the list of resolutions. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:29, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
