Just to add up ,for the very first time looks like more people have shown
interest to represent WMKE @ a conference if i may,just tweak Murfys
Law *,such
is bound to* *happen someday *given that WMKE is growing ,i therefor would
wish to request that we come up with all the metrics that will come to play
if faced with similar circumstances maybe we even document it
eligibility,no. of meet ups,duration of membership ,gender parity- if need
be,etc etc ,This will save us the agony and time of planning physical meet
ups to iron out such.
It may not necessarily mean it must be entrenched in our chapters
constitution but we can have it some where ,on that note am willing to
spare a few minutes and seek members views through some questionnaire on
what metrics should come to play should issues of representation arise
again .

Abbas,
Plus that would show some conversancy with the wiki too other than
having it documented. So all the nominees, please post all your short
Bios our wiki. I am working on the criteria and staff. So anyone
please feel free to chip in and help out. Here is the link :

Alex,
I'd suggest we use the metrics we did last
time:
* Number of meetups attended
* Duration of contribution to wmke
I think I forgot some :)
*A brief
explanation of your contribution to WMKE over the past year
Perhaps the nominees should write up their personal statements on-wiki,
in a
central place?
So am creating the final Doodle poll but I would
like to point out
that NOT all the people who have shown interest meet the above
threshold. We had quite a number of physical meetups last year and am
sorry to say I did not see some of you guys in ALL if not MOST of
them. Since that is part of the Chapters agreed Criteria. I may LOCK
out some participants who DO NOT meet the above threshold.
+1
Finally, We had some discussion as to who is
eligible to vote too. So
NOT everyone subscribed to this mailing list is eligible. Only persons
who show commitment through contribution to discussions and attending
meetups will be eligible to vote....Same criteria as last year
Agreed. Once again, maybe we should create a Wiki for these elections. It
could include all the criteria, eligibility, names of nominees and their
personal statements all in one page.
Regards,Abbas.
