I don't get these kinds of arguments.
I'm pretty much equally very active on enwiki + Wikidata + Commons -
which should I chose as my 'resident' project? Most bytes (Commons),
most edits (Wikidata), longest editing time (enwiki) - or something
else? Or language for that matter - most of my editing right now is
multilingual.
I've lived in UK + Brazil + Spain (islands - off the coast of Africa) -
am I global north or south?
I've worked with two small affiliates: Wikimedia UK (back when it was
founded), and Wiki Movimento Brasil - does that count as developed or
emerging?
What happens to others that fall on both sides of these arbitrary lines?
Obrigado,
Mike
P.S., huge congrats to Rosie, Victoria, Dariusz and Lorenzo, who I know
will do great jobs!

Congratulations to the winners and the participants also !
Further to the ongoing discussions, my idea is as follows :
In this Wikimedia land, a person is the resident of the project
s/he/they have most contributed.... No arguments
Now the person can chose to be a worker in 'n' number of projects.....
The definition of worker must be clearly defined as per certain number
of contributions made.....
Below that you a tourist......
In this way elections can have votes from residents and tourists....

Congratulations to the 4 winners.
I saw that the STV system unveiled how the 4th and 5th positions
(appears to be from a G7 country and a non G7 country) had switched.
I am interested to know from which sector/s or Wikimedia project
brought the switch of those two positions (starting from the 8th
iteration).
I also observed that I have no option to choose which wiki I will
represent. It appears that the system only allows which wiki I first
clicked the central notice link. I tried to go to the other projects
and vote, it allowed me to change my vote (still one eligible
ballot) but it did not change the project I will represent. I am
saying this because it would allow people reading the statistics
which project the eligible voter truly represents.
Despite all the consultations made prior to the elections to bring
the emerging communities/ global south to the board it had not
accurately painted the picture. I would personally suggest in the
future not all candidates vie for the same set of seats. So for
instance, there are 4 seats up for grabs, two seats must be reserved
for sector A and two seats for sector B. Candidates must select
which sector they represent and cannot be both. Then the whole
electorate votes for candidates for Sector A board seats and Sector
B board seats using the same STV system. Qualifications for Sector A
and Sector B seats shall be different and will be decided by the
board of trustees with consent from an advisory/ electoral
committee. I personally suggest developed communities (from big
chapters and wiki projects with large edit participation) and
emerging communities (small to medium sized affiliates and wiki
projects with medium to small edit participation).
Kind Regards,
Butch

Thanks, Jackie!
That is indeed different from what I understood and I’m glad
about the change :-)

Hi Alice,
Thanks for asking! The way we are intending "contended" is
that it was the election everyone was waiting for. :) It was
"pushed for" by the community for more than a year and now we
gladly announce: it happened and here are the results!
Best,
Jackie

Hi all,
congrats to the elected Board members. It’s great to see
people stepping up and taking responsibility, especially
in times where leadership is needed.
Jackie, may I ask for some elaboration on the subject of
this thread? You say „most contended … election“ and I
wonder what that means. In my understanding this is a
nuance of controversial and I don’t get the point where it
is more controversial than any other election. Maybe it
gets lost in translation, maybe it’s me not having the
complete insight of what has been discussed.
Alice.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board
election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes
of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
election, organized to select four new trustees. A record
6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid
votes. The following four candidates received the most
support:
1.
Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
2.
Victoria Doronina
3.
Dariusz Jemielniak
4.
Lorenzo Losa
Waiting for the Board’s appointment
While these candidates have been ranked through the
community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board
of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful
background check and meet the qualifications outlined in
the Bylaws. This process can be longer depending on the
country of residence of the candidates. The Board has set
a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of
this month. The Board also has approved
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/37IV7FRWIKM4YAK2WBTUTPJA7LKGOATI/#37IV7FRWIKM4YAK2WBTUTPJA7LKGOATI>a
short extension to the terms of the exiting trustees to
allow a smooth transition.
Thanks to all the candidates
Thanks to all candidates for their participation. They
achieved a record in the number of candidates and
regional diversity, with more than half of the 19
candidates from regions outside North America and Western
Europe. This election used Single Transferable Voting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Single_Transferable_Vote>for
the first time. This system does not indicate a number of
votes or percentage of support. Rather, it shows in which
round each candidate was eliminated. You can review the
full results on Meta-Wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Results>,
which document the order in which the candidates were
mathematically eliminated.
Thanks to all the election volunteers
The Board of Trustees stressed
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021-04-15_Resolution_about_the_upcoming_Board_elections>the
importance of increasing diversity on the Board. Dozens
of volunteers supported by a team of multilingual
facilitators promoted the election in up to 61 languages.
They hosted many conversations about the Board election
in more than 50 languages and encouraged community
members to participate in all areas of the election.
Statistics
The 2021 Board of Trustees election broke new ground in
several areas. The Movement Strategy and Governance team
will publish a report with the most remarkable metrics
soon. In the meantime, some statistics
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Stats>can
be found on Meta-Wiki. Here you have some highlights.
*
Participation increased by 1,753 voters over 2017.
Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points
more than in 2017.
*
The highest participation among wikis with at least 5
eligible voters was seen on the Hausa and Igbo
Wikipedias. Both wikis had a participation of 75% (6
of 8 eligible voters). Other high participation
numbers were seen on the Telugu, Nepalese, and
Punjabi Wikipedias.
*
The largest increase in participation among wikis
with at least 50 eligible voters was the Catalan
Wikipedia, on which 36.3% of eligible voters voted
(28 percentage points higher than in 2017).
*
There were 214 wikis represented in the election.
This is determined by the wiki on which the account
was originally created.
*
A total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017
produced voters in this election.
*
A total of 226 wikis had at least one eligible voter
but produced no voters. The largest electorate in
this group was Cantonese Wikipedia, with 25 eligible
voters.
In the upcoming days, an anonymized list of votes will be
released that will allow deeper inspection and
publication of more metrics.
2022 election
The next Board of Trustees election is planned to take
place in 2022. Interested community members can watch the
Wikimedia Foundation elections page for updates
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections>.
Four community seats will be selected at that time. It is
not too early to consider and prepare for candidacy.
Community members may like to check out Candidate
Resources
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Candidate_Resources>to
learn more about what to expect and how to prepare for
this role.
