Hi Andreas,
a quick and short response: we do not provide a response on a thing that
has not been collectively discussed. That's a standard that should be kept,
and the organization of elections is definitely something that needs
discussing every time they happen (the procedure involves several
Hi Dariusz and all,
Since this thread started, I (and several others) have asked in multiple
locations whether the WMF can promise that when the four formerly
community-selected seats come up for re-selection in 2024, community
members will be given a free vote.
This question seemed particularly
Last year the community voted that way putting diverse candidates at 5th and

I've asked for the reasons to mix those two totally different type of seats in
2021 on the discussion page of the board[1], but I never got any answer besides
''the board decided this way'', which is in no way a valid decision process for
