The conclusion in response to Itzik's original question how the
current jury was elected and by who, is that the Wikimania jury is
not elected, it was selected by a WMF employee against unpublished and
presumably undefined criteria. Sadly, there are no plans or commitment
by the WMF to change or
I do agree that it should be great to have a transparent way to elect the
jury, but people, let's at least take the word or the people who commented
here. The ones who come here and said I do work for a wikimedia org, but
I'm in the jury as a volunteer. Why do not believe in then? Most of then
Based on a prompt from Itzik, I checked the archives of wikimania-l
(which I was not subscribed to). There is a message from Stuart Prior
there with a very brief summary of background of jury members which I
was unaware of and it may have been intended as a response to my
question. Refer to

I hope next year election committee will take it in consideration.
Why hope? Just create the rules page on Meta with the amended criteria
which just found consensus. They can then be worked on from there.

If you're interested in discussing the future of Wikimania, perhaps it

Hi Risker,
You seem to have missed the point, this is not a question of bad faith
in any person. Itzik's question exposed failure in making a key
procedure in how our movement manages funding properly transparent.
Please do not derail the issue into one of personalities. There is no
doubt that

That seems rather unfair. Fæ is raising some valid points about how this
process has taken place this year, which are worth addressing. Dismissing
concerns unless there is a comprehensive proposal for reform seems like a
reduction to bureaucracy…
