[WikiEducator] Preparing for WE Council elections -- help us draft the Governance By-laws
Hi everyone, In the early days of WE, we set up an Interim International Advisory Board as an interim step in setting up a community governance structure. We made clear commitment that once 2500 users joined WikiEducator we will hold democratic elections to elect a Successor Board. WE posted the beginnings of Governance Policy page inviting feedback on key questions: http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Governance_Policy You can read the discussions and feedback on the relevant talk page: http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator_talk:Governance_Policy In summary: There is growing consensus for a WE Council model. This model proposes a council of 25 members. 15 members by open community election and 10 additional members to be appointed by the elected council members. The purpose of the additional members is a mechanism to promote the Commonwealth values of democracy, human rights, good citizenship and good governance. For example gender equality and/or regional representation on the Council. This will also enable the Council to bring on board specialized skills. Next steps: 1. Please add any thoughts or ideas you would like to contribute before 11 February 2008 on the following talk page: http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator_talk:Governance_Policy 2. WE will then draft a proposed by-law/policy for the establishment of the Council. This policy will also contain procedures for the elections. The document will be open for comment by the WE community. 3. We will then proceed with our first elections.
