And as an editor/donor/whatever he also has a clear personal interest. If he hadn't an interest in Wikimedia, he probably wouldn't have volunteered in the first place. So what? In Germany, the election supervisors are typically employ- ees of the bodies to be elected. Any conflict of interest is avoided in the way that their actions (few in number) are very transparent at practically no discretion. So, I do not see any answer to Jon's question *how* Phi- lippe could deliberately further his personal goals by par- ticipating in a decision of the election committee to expand (or not) the candidacy period.
