Re: [Wikimedia-l] Are chapters part of the community and board seats for affiliates?

Two things, one is, I do not know why these discussions are not held in a Wiki ( ie meta), which is easier to document and much easier to follow. The second point: I think the chapters are a significant part of the community, however, as only one part, the chapters can not, should not speak for t

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, imo chapters are NOT part of the communities (nor the global community), just a tool for them to achieve certain goals that otherwise would be much more difficult or (almost) impossible to reach. Balázs 2013.02.24. 10:34, "Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton" ezt írta: > Two thi

Hi All, Not to be incredibly mean about this, but how about giving a vote to all chapters approved by the AffCom, rather than just the members? I know you are looking at the membership model and trying to see if it will work for you, but this sort of limits your options and perpetuates the feel

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Info: Election for WCA Chairperson

Although I'm pretty much a complete outsider to this process, and so my opinion may be discounted accordingly, this schedule for voting may be a little bit too expedited to be optimal. I'm especially concerned that only one week is allotted between the close of nominations and the close of voting.
