Hi all,
Please review and comment on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees>
selection rules package from now until *29 October 2023*. The selection
rules package was based on older versions by the Elections Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Elections_Committee>
and will be used in the 2024 Board of Trustees selection.
The rules package includes campaign rules
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024/Candidate_guidelines>,
voter eligibility criteria
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024/Voter_eligibility_guidelines>,
and the voting method, platform, and timeline
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024>.
In previous Board selections, the voter eligibility criteria and the
voting method were adjusted to fit expressed community needs. The
Candidate Guidelines were originally developed during the 2022 election
and have been revised.
The Wikimedia Foundation staff are supporting a community comment period
for the rules package so the Elections Committee can receive comments
and concerns well in advance of the Board selection process. Completing
this comment period now will allow time for the Elections Committee to
adapt the rules package as appropriate.
Please visit the Meta-wiki talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024>
to provide your comments now and invite people you know to do so as
well. Your comments will help the Elections Committee provide a
smoother, better Board selection process.
Regards,
KTC
Chair of the Elections Committee
