Hello dear all,
I would also like to ask everyone who has made their thoughts on the
election to take part on the election committee themselves the next time.
Unfortunately when I made the call for volunteer earlier this year not
very many people responded.
Greetings

I agree. We should limit it to only community members, or to give equal

Asaf, you right, but we are talking also about the FDC elections. a
processes where we are not granting chapters and others organizations the
right to vote but granting to the WMF. Giving only WMF staff, and not
chapters staff the right to vote in community process, it's like saying
the
first are part of the community, but the second are not. I don't even
want
to refer to the sensitive issue of the staff voting for their "bosses"..
That's a very good point, and I think the chapter board members and staff
definitely _should_ be given a voice _at least_ in the FDC elections. I
leave it to the Elections Committee to propose solutions.
The Elections Committee posted its plan weeks before the election started,
with hardly any commentary at all; it is only now, after candidates may
start entering the race, that people are complaining that we've failed to
give the "right" people a vote (or alternately, that we've given too many
people a vote). There is almost no variation between the voter eligibility
this year and in the previous election; the only relevant changes are dates
for eligibility and the developer commit process (which was changed because
the Engineering Department changed the way that commits were done).
I suggest that those who would like to see changes at the next election
post on the election post mortem page[1] now, so that these ideas aren't
lost to time.
