History and process

This practice started with the Board restructuring of 2008, where the Board established the "chapter-selected Board seats". The Wikimedia chapters selected two members in 2008, 2010, and 2012.

Starting in 2014, consistent with the proposed change to the WMF bylaws, this process was modified to include thematic organizations in addition to chapters. Based on July 2015's resolution, starting in 2016 the term of trustees seats is 3 years.

Starting in 2019, consistent with Affiliate-selected Board seats/Resolution 2019, all affiliates in good standing, including user groups, are eligible to vote.

The affiliate-selected Board seats process is governed by a resolution of the chapters and thematic organizations.
