So we discussed in length, in various places, the issue of IP blocking [1, 2, 3]… let’s make sure everyone understand who actually operate in the IP blocking : yes… you got it… stewards

which means that YOU will have the opportunity to possibly 1) candidate to be a steward <—— not simple 2) and soon… votes for the candidates <—— simple 3) and raise the usual topic of blocking proxies management, again <—— simple

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce the Steward Elections 2023 [1]. We are now taking nominations from eligible candidates. Interested candidates can check their eligibility and the procedure to submit the nomination on the guidelines page [2]. We are open to candidate submissions until January 30, 2023, 23:59 (UTC).

Please remember, the voting has not yet begun and will not until February 6, 2023, 21:00 (UTC). We will remind you once again when the voting starts. As always, the confirmation of existing stewards [3] will take place at the same time as the Stewards Elections (starting February 6, 2023, 21:00 (UTC)).

If you have any questions regarding the elections, feel free to contact me or any other member of the Election Committee [4]. You can also ask any question in the #wikimedia-stewards-elections-chat IRC channel, or watch updates in #wikimedia-stewards-elections.
