Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey to support the WMF ED search starts right now

In the last ED selection, I had thought that experience in the private sector would be good for the WMF ED to have. I was a bit disappointed with Sue (I know that some people liked her on a personal level, but on a professional level as ED she was also partly responsible for a variety of

I have over 15 years experience working in the private sector at an investment bank, much of it working in Mergers & Acquisitions where companies and their leadership were the focus of evaluating companies. I would hope that whatever information is in the A.T. Kearney report, or anything coming

Update: The survey is still open! In order to hear from more people, the search team decided to hold the ED search survey [1] open until Friday, June 17. If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes to fill it out before then. Thank you for your participation! [1] - ED Search Survey:

As a patroller on my homewiki I can say that 15 of the 50 most active editors according to stats.wikimedia.org would be capable of answering the questions in one of the ten languages. Those are the people who translate articles from the ten languages of the survey (13 from English, 2 from

I'll add a question of my own here. I find this statement interesting: "Please rate these other qualifications: (Please rate 0 to 5 with 0 being 0 not important; 5 for extremely important)... Experience of working in an a-hierarchical, participative management environment". I find this puzzling

Hello, about the ED search survey [0] I, as a member of an emerging community, the Bulgarian one [1], disagree that anyone wants "to invite also emerging communities". Translating the survey into "the 9 major languages of our projects" is not enough. Letting emerging communities participate, and

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey to support the WMF ED search starts right now

Thanks for the survey. I trust that it will also be "advertised" in other venues. I notice that it gives ranges of 0 to 5 which is actually six data points rather than the more typical 1 to 5, so there is no "middle ground" on this survey - any answer either has to be at least somewhat

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community survey to support the WMF ED search starts right now

hi James, thanks for your input. One of the reasons for the survey is asking the community what they think about the key qualities. I think it is quite likely a more effective way of getting a wider input than discussing it on the list. One of the questions in the questionnaire is, for instance,
